Abstract
The article discusses the importance of learner assessment in school libraries, highlighting the need for school librarians to incorporate assessment practices aligned with the National School Library Standards. Assessment in school libraries focuses on measuring competencies aligned with real-world information-seeking behaviors rather than traditional grades and testing. The article emphasizes the role of diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments in tracking learner progress and supporting the overall library program. It also underscores the significance of using learner data to establish library goals and showcase the impact of school libraries on academic achievement.
