  7. The Montclair State U AiA Project • The MSU Assessment in Action (AiA) Team Project will focus on assessing the impact of Government Documents and data information literacy instruction on student success.  We will concentrate on working with the students in the new Masters in Public Health program and the outcomes of one-shot information literacy classes combined with one-on-one research appointments with librarians.

  8. The MSU AiA Project Team • Dr. Mary Mallery, Assoc. Dean, Library • Darren Sweeper, Head of Government Documents, Library • Dr. Lisa Lieberman, Director of Graduate Studies, Masters of Public Health Program • Dr. Irina Korleva, Assessment Coordinator, Office of the Provost

  9. Focus on Data Information Literacy • Assessing data information literacy (DIL) is a new field that demonstrates a major impact of library leadership in many areas of research and business applications in e-science, with national and global reach. The AiA program will give us the training, support and community that we need to address this new field in a structured and meaningful manner.

  14. What’s Next after the AiA Program? • The information that we gain from our assessment will not only be useful to the Masters in Public Health program, but the librarians will expand this program to other areas, and thus build more collaborative relationships for the Library to show the value of the Library and librarians in creating the next generation of educated and informed global citizens.
