The Higher Education Libraries Interest Group (HELIG) – in support of the LIASA strategy and to help strengthen higher education and research support in South Africa – hosts a series of activities throughout the year. The purpose of these will be to introduce new trends which also impact on libraries and service delivery, and to stay abreast of new developments as far as it concerns higher education in our country. This is the second in the series of webinars planned for this year.
HELIG National in collaboration with Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe of the University Library at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, USA, invites you to participate in a webinar on Embedding Assessment into the Library's Practices.
As academic libraries are increasingly asked to demonstrate their value and the contributions they make to their institutions, library staff need efficient and effective strategies for assessment. Best practice in assessment means embedding assessment into the library's practices on a continuous basis rather than treating it as a separate and additional task. This webinar will present an integrated and systematic approach to developing and assessing library activities that includes identifying impact outcomes and aligned activities, establishing criteria, collecting and analyzing data and evidence, and using the results for improvement and telling the story of the library's impact.
Date: Tuesday 23 July 2013
Time: 3 pm - 4 pm (SA time) (8 am Illinois time)
Costs: Free
Venue: Virtual at http://tex.sun.ac.za
