ELF-ASSESSMENT FORM
LIBRARY MEDIA SPECIALIST SYSTEM
This self-assessment instrument should be completed by the library media specialist for his/her own personal use.
The information obtained from the self-assessment can be used in three ways: 1) to identify areas for
improvement; 2) to compare personal perceptions of performance with results of evaluation by a superordinate;
and 3) to assist in developing a professional development plan collaboratively with one's supervisor. It is the
library media specialist's option whether to share the results of the self-assessment during the Evaluation Summary
Conference, but sharing can lead to useful discussion.
Library media specialists should refer to the list of definition items in determining their performance for the
indicators and competency areas. The definition items define each indicator and should be used to formulate a
response at the indicator level. Indicator scores should be used to formulate an overall score for each competency
area.
The following scale should be used to determine the scores for each of the indicators and competency areas.

The interview contains 5 question sets. It is administered in one of two ways: 1) it may be conducted in one
or more sessions by trained evaluators, or 2) the library media specialist can provide written responses to the
question sets. If the library media specialist chooses to provide written responses, all five question sets are due
at a time agreed upon by the evaluator and the library media specialist. A conference between the evaluator and
the library media specialist is required to discuss the written responses and/or for the evaluator to ask probing
or clarifying questions. In either interview administration, the library media specialist may or may not choose
to provide a representative sampling of materials that assist in explanations.
The question sets to be addressed are attached to this Interview Scoring Form. If the interview is conducted as
a structured oral interview, responses from the library media specialist are recorded by the evaluator on the
Observation/Interview Scripting Form. If the library media specialist chooses to write responses to the
interview, these responses should be written on the Observation/Interview Scripting Form. Each sheet should
indicate the library media specialist's name, page number, and the question set to which a response is made. If
the librarian chooses to provide materials as examples that assist in an explanation, these materials should be
attached as appendices. More detailed instructions are provided in the manual.
The scoring statements on this Interview Scoring Form should be used in determining the indicator scores.
Procedures and definitions for scoring the interview appear in the evaluation manual. Explanation of assigned
scores will be provided to the library media specialist.
