This collection of the best library research instruments will help you to streamline efforts and save time when researching.

Surprisingly, instruction in library science rarely includes in-depth training on research methods, instrument selection, or test creation--leaving many librarians struggling when it comes to validating their own work. To bridge this gap, this professional's guide houses the leading library research instruments in use for the past 15 years, providing one-page evaluations to help expedite your research validation. The work features a variety of tests--such as the Beile Test of Information Literacy for Educators, Project SAILS, and the Library Anxiety Scale--and contains full text of each test when available. You'll learn essential details about the instrument, including the source, a description of its purpose, the development and validation of the test, its administrative procedure, and its psychometric properties where applicable.

The book begins with a chapter on evaluating tests and other instruments, followed by a primer on establishing validity and reliability. Throughout the work, you'll tap into leading tests in the field, learn where they have been utilized, and gain access to contact information for the test authors. Topics covered include information literacy, library anxiety, service evaluation, services and library use, information-seeking behavior, and resource evaluation.

Amy J. Catalano is associate professor of library services and curriculum materials librarian at Hofstra University.
