“…While evidence suggests that library instruction ought to be integrated in course work rather than presented as separate from courses in the discipline, political science pedagogy literature has not included a heavy focus on information literacy (Williams and Evans 2008). In 2008, the Law and Political Science Section (LPSS) of the ACRL published "Political Science Research Competency Guidelines," based on the work of scholars of political science pedagogy (Ishiyama 2005;Ishiyama, Breuning, and Lopez 2006;Marfleet and Dille 2005;Wahlke 1991). …”

“…More recent overviews of these assessment efforts include the Wahlke Report (Wahlke 1991), Assessment in Political Science (Deardorff, Hamann, and Ishiyama 2009), and the January 2016 Profession Symposium in this journal.
