This data set contains the replication data for the article "Knowing and doing: The development of information literacy measures to assess knowledge and practice." This article was published in the Journal of Information Literacy, in June 2021. The data was collected as part of the contact author's PhD research on information literacy (IL). One goal of this study is to assess students' levels of IL using three measures: 1) a 21-item IL test for assessing students' knowledge of three aspects of IL: evaluating sources, using sources, and seeking information. The test is multiple choice, with four alternative answers for each item. This test is a "KNOW-measure," intended to measure what students know. 2) a source-evaluation measure to assess students' abilities to critically evaluate information sources in practice. This is a "DO-measure," intended to measure what students do in practice, in actual assignments. 3) a source-use measure to assess students' abilities to use sources correctly when writing. This is a "DO-measure," intended to measure what students do in practice, in actual assignments. The data set contains survey results from 626 Norwegian and international students at three levels of higher education: bachelor, master's and PhD. The data was collected in Qualtrics from fall 2019 to spring 2020. In addition to the data set and this README file, two other files are available here: 1) test questions in the survey, including answer alternatives (IL_knowledge_tests.txt) 2) details of the assignment-based measures for assessing source evaluation and source use (Assignment_based_measures_assessing_IL_skills.txt)
