Welcome!

TRAILS is a knowledge assessment with multiple-choice questions targeting a variety of information literacy skills based on sixth and ninth grade standards. This Web-based system was developed to provide an easily accessible and flexible tool for library media specialists and teachers to identify strengths and weaknesses in the information-seeking skills of their students.

Details about how the assessment system works may be found at HOW TRAILS WORKS.

The end of another great year!

TRAILS has now been administered to over 100,000 students. Our thanks to all of you who responded to our annual survey. Your input is directing development that will be ready for fall--including changes in session management and new report features. We also hope to be able to post some benchmark data soon. Thanks for your ongoing interest and support.
