Assessing Library Impact and Value
This presentation will cover the origin, development, and deployment of an openly available survey instrument to assess the ACRL standards of institutional effectiveness and and educational role of the library.  The survey was designed in collaboration between supported organizations of the Private Academic Library Network of Indiana (PALNI) and the higher education analytics nonprofit IDEA.

Using Business Analytics to Support Our Values
In a world where average serial resource inflation is greater than 6% but budgets are stagnant or decreasing, there is pressure to maintain collections often at the expense of other library services. However, using by business analysis tools and techniques, we can change this trajectory as we work to maintain collections sustainably so that we can offer valuable services to our patrons (i.e. information literacy, digitization, open access support). This presentation will provide a framework for collection analysis and negotiation that goes beyond cost per use, integrating quantitative and qualitative data in order to understand the value individual resources provide. In addition, Ms. Macy will discuss how this work supports greater institutional goals and serves academic library values.
 

12:00-1:30pm – Lunch (On Your Own)

1:30-4:40pm - ACRL Project Outcome for Academic Libraries Workshop

Sara Goek - ACRL Program Manager

Project Outcome for Academic Libraries is a FREE online toolkit designed to help libraries understand and share the impact of essential library programs and services. Based on the model developed by the Public Library Association (PLA), it provides standardized surveys, an easy-to-use process for measuring and analyzing outcomes, and the resources libraries need to leverage their results to effect change in their institutions and beyond. This interactive workshop will help you create an assessment method for the project(s) relevant to your institution.
