The Threshold Achievement Test
for Information Literacy
Carrick Enterprises is in the process of developing the next generation of information literacy assessments: the Threshold Achievement Test for Information Literacy (TATIL). Our new instrument is inspired by the new ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. We have a great team of information literacy experts and an advisory board of experienced librarians
