Suggestions & CommentsThe UMBC Information Literacy Survey contains 51 items and takes approximately 34 minutes to complete. The survey is automated and will be deployed via the UMBC portal, my.UMBC.edu. Survey participants will use a Web browser to access my.UMBC.edu. Once logged in they will select the AOK Information Literacy Survey link and follow the instructions to complete the survey. The survey will only be available during the month of September, 2003.
The majority of the questions on the survey have no right or wrong answers. These questions are designed to solicit student perceptions about information and the use of information.
Participating faculty will receive a list of the unique usernames of the students who have completed the survey as of Sunday, September 14th on Monday, September 15th. A final roster of those who have completed the survey will be distributed to participating faculty by Friday, October 3rd.
