Abstract
We investigated the use of Verify, a web usability tool, to assess the effectiveness of library instructional sessions in the sciences. First year undergraduate science students completed a pre and post usability test immediately before and after library instruction. The tool provided valuable insight into the ability of students to correctly navigate to items on the library website. Strengths and weaknesses of using the Verify Click Test as a library instructional assessment tool are discussed.
