[Lib-helig-l] Weekend viewing: Creating a culture of assessment in an academic library

Dear Colleagues

Here’s a recording of a panel discussion on Creating a culture of assessment in an academic library.      

 

A culture of assessment can be defined as "assessment is a regular part of your institutional practice" -- but what organizational characteristics and practices assist or hinder the develop of such a culture?  Join College & Research Libraries for a live panel conversation on creating and maintaining a culture of assessment at your library and factors associated with it. The panellists will discuss the C&RL pre-print study "Bridges and Barriers: Factors Influencing a Culture of Assessment in Academic Libraries," share ideas for both administrators and front-line librarians working to build such a culture, and explore relevant ACRL initiatives.
