Abstract
Measuring the impact of information literacy instruction in higher education is essential to support teaching and learning and demonstrate the value of information literacy instruction. This article reports on the findings from a cross-institutional study using resources from the Association of College & Research Libraries' (ACRL) Project Outcome Toolkit. A survey from the toolkit was implemented to measure student perceptions across four outcomes: increased knowledge, increased confidence, application of new knowledge/skills, and increased awareness of resources. The data provides insight on what students value from library instruction sessions at both a research university and state college. Students at both institutions indicated that they value information literacy instruction, as demonstrated by the similar ratings across the four outcomes.
