Welcome!
TRAILS is a knowledge assessment with multiple-choice questions targeting a variety of information literacy skills based on sixth and ninth grade standards. This Web-based system was developed to provide an easily accessible and flexible tool for library media specialists and teachers to identify strengths and weaknesses in the information-seeking skills of their students.

For your consideration General assessment #1 is more focused on students’ basic understanding of information literacy concepts. If your students have been performing well on general assessment #1 in the fall and you have been teaching information literacy concepts throughout the first term, please consider using general assessment #2 in the spring. General assessment #2 is more focused on students’ application of information literacy concepts. Recommendation regarding pre- and post-testing We recommend that you use the same assessment for both pre- and post-testing so the results will be more comparable. Usually there will be enough time between assessments that students won’t remember most of the questions. Also, the questions are delivered randomly each time, which will make it appear to be a different test to the students. |
