When disattenuating the correlation, which adjusts for the reliability of the two tests, the correlation was 0.72, which is a strong positive correlation. The observed correlation of scores on the ILT and cohort SAILS test was 0.67, which is a moderate positive correlation. In order to compare student performance on both tests, we conducted a correlation study. The ILT has established reliability and validity and is very similar to the SAILS test. We also compared student performance on the SAILS test with performance on the Information Literacy Test (ILT) developed at James Madison University. We gathered SAT/ACT scores for participating students and determined that groups of students who scored higher on the SAT/ACT also scored higher on SAILS, which is what we would expect. To determine whether the SAILS tests correlates to other, similar measures, we compared SAILS results with two external instruments. Below is a brief description of our reliability and validity testing program. To determine how well the SAILS instrument measures information literacy as defined by the ACRL Information Competency Standards for Higher Education, we conducted a series of validation and reliability tests with the SAILS test items and the test as a whole. One of the goals of the SAILS project is to create a test that is a good measure of information literacy.
