contents	Outcomes Assessment: Not Synonymous with Inputs and Outputs. Dugan, Robert E. Hernon, Peter Academic Libraries Higher Education Information Literacy Outcomes of Education Users (Information) Presents a rationale for the use of outcomes assessment and identifies three competing assessment perspectives that examine quality: looking at users from the perspective of the academic library; looking at libraries from the users' perspectives; and libraries in the life of the institution. Discusses information literacy, and differentiating between outputs and outcomes. (Author/LRW)
