Survey Inventory

AIR has a nice project to inventory instruments related to assessing quality of education.  Quote:
This web site provides an inventory of resources designed to assist higher education faculty and staff in the challenging task of assessing academic and support programs as well as institutional effectiveness, more broadly.
The home page for the project is here, and the inventory itself is here.  A screen capture from the first two is shown below.
