This book will help you to not only answer this question, but also
prove your findings. Walking you through the process of assessing
if and how well students and library users are learning from
educational resources, two expert academic library experts team up
to provide An Action Plan for Outcomes Assessment in Your Library.
This comprehensive plan, the first of its kind and specifically for
librarians, provides data collection tools for measuring both
learning and research outcomes that link outcomes to user
satisfaction. After all, it is the users who will benefit from
learning, and so their experiences are integral to the way
libraries measure their services and performance. This practical,
how-to manual, with detailed case studies from actual outcomes
assessment programs, will prepare you to: Plan an outcomes
assessment strategy for your library that is in line with
accrediting guidelines; Execute your plan by identifying user
needs, collecting and analyzing data, and presenting your findings;
Measure the value of the services you are providing and identify
areas for improvement; Armed with hands-on tools and real-life
examples, you will be inspired to get a handle on how successful
your services are in the context of what your students and users
need and want. Included are policies of major accrediting bodies
for higher education, guidelines developed by the Association for
Research and College Libraries, and a chapter that applies academic
library outcomes assessment to public libraries. Libraries can
maintain accreditation and funding, assess student and user
learning, and determine the library's role in graduate and faculty
research as they demonstrate their effectiveness using outcomes
assessment. This innovative action plan provides tools and data
collection instruments that is based on the latest research and
adaptable to any type of library.
