Abstract	Presents information search tasks as an alternative to standardized tests for the assessment of scholarly information literacy (IL). It is described how a task taxonomy and scoring rubrics were developed as a basis for the construction of standardized search tasks. Based on this taxonomy, sample tasks were created and used in an evaluation study of an IL instruction program in which the tasks were applied alongside a standardized IL test to determine their convergent validity. The results from 67 psychology undergraduates (aged 18-31 years) show that IL can be assessed using information search tasks in a reliable and conceptually as well as ecologically valid way. It is concluded that there are no other information search tasks for the assessment of IL with such a high degree of standardization. The task taxonomy, sample tasks, and scoring rubrics are included and can be used by practitioners to create information search tasks tailored to their needs. (ZPID).
