This paper presents a comprehensive overview of methodologies and approaches for assessing the impact of information literacy programs on student success in educational settings. Information literacy programs aim to equip students with essential skills to locate, evaluate, and effectively use information in academic and professional contexts. The abstract explores various dimensions of measuring the impact of these programs, including assessment of information literacy skills, academic performance, integration into curriculum, perceptions and self-efficacy, and employability and career readiness. Measuring the impact of information literacy programs on student success requires a multifaceted approach that considers various dimensions of student learning, academic performance, and professional development. By employing a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, educators and researchers can gain a comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness of information literacy interventions in preparing students for success in an information-rich world.
