The HEDS Research Practice Survey asks students about their research experiences and assesses their skills in finding, evaluating, and citing sources. Your college's results can be compared with results from other institutions. The Research Practice Survey takes ~20 minutes to complete.

National Survey of Student Engagement

NSSE has provided since 2013 an Experiences with Information Literacy module. The module asks students about their use of information and how much their instructors emphasized the proper use of information sources.
