Project SAILS - Kent State University and the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) https://www.projectsails.org/

“Project SAILS is a standardized test of Information Literacy skills, based on ACRL Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education. This Web-based tool allows libraries to document Information Literacy skill levels for groups of students and to pinpoint areas for improvement.”

“Throughout a three-year research and development phase, more than 80 higher education institutions participated in Project SAILS, including 2- and 4-year schools. SAILS also expanded to include Canadian institutions by adapting test items for Canadian students and institutions.”
