Evaluation

This is the assessment rubric that will be used to gauge how many CE credit hours you will earn (0, 15, or 30) [Library school students your instructor will need to reformulate this rubric to be weighted for points, instead of CE Credit Hours]:

  • Less than 88 points: 0 CE Credit Hours
  • 88-149 points: 15 CE Credit Hours
  • 150-175 points: 30 CE Credit Hours

Your trainer or CE coordinator will use this rubric to evaluate your completed work to determine your level of CE Credit Hours.

About this WebQuest

This project was designed for librarians, library school students, or library boards learning about the practice and policy behind weeding the library collection, a critical part of any library's collection development strategies. It mainly focuses on public library collections, especially at small- medium-sized libraries, but could be easily be customized for school or academic libraries. The exercise format is based on the WebQuest inquiry learning model, developed by Bernie Dodge and Tom March.
