Project SAILS
http://www.projectsails.org/
Project SAILS began in 2001 with the goal of developing a standardized test of information literacy skills that would allow libraries to document skill levels for groups of students and to pinpoint areas for improvement.
To make Project SAILS a success, we brought together a team of experts in librarianship, test design and measurement, data analysis, and programming.
A three-year research and development phase involving more than 80 higher education institutions in the U.S. and Canada culminated in 2006 in the production version of the SAILS test.

Big6 Rubric
http://www.big6.com/showarticle.php?id=173
Big6 Rubric: Assessment Made Easy The Big6™ Way
Being able to effectively assess student-learning research activities has always been a difficult process for most teachers. Evaluating the end product of a student''s research is limiting and often fails to provide insight into the extent of students'' abilities. Were students able to effectively analyze, evaluate and make use of information? That''s the challenge.
The Big6 Assessment tool evaluates student competence at the various stages of the Big6 process. Each row in the tool examines one area of the process. Not every area of information problem solving is important all the time. There are times when one or more areas are of prime importance while others may have a lesser importance. Using the Big6 Assessment tool, teachers have a practical way of weighting the steps of the Big6 that need the most emphasis.

http://www.cabrillo.edu/~tsmalley/InfoLitAssessment.html
Information Literacy Assessment: Distinguishing Different Levels of Understanding
Though there is some variation, information literacy programs at every level (elementary school through college) have very similar educational objectives, as these samples show ....
To begin to get a grasp on different levels of understanding (especially high school vs. college), I developed an experimental Information Literacy Assessment instrument. I put it together fairly late in this sabbatical project (early April 2000), and, by the time I shared it with high school librarians, and librarian colleagues at community colleges and four year institutions, it was relatively late in the semester.
