The Strategic Assessment Committee developed the following plan to set a direction for library assessment projects, both formative and summative. See Assessment & User Experience to learn more about who we are and what we do.
Assessment Plans
Project Name | Description and Purpose | Notes |
---|---|---|
Data Inventory | An updated inventory containing all the data library teams are collecting will help us:
Strategic Priorities: Adopt Evidence-based Practices |
|
Centralize Data | The goal of this project is to have one place where all data is stored from all library teams. A place where anyone with permissions could access the data at any time in an easy, accessible, user-friendly way. This would help support evidence-based decision-making. The technical decisions and processes for this project may fall outside our direct influence so we envision collaborating with Library and Central IT. Strategic Priorities: Adopt Evidence-based Practices |
|
Longitudinal Survey | What did we lose when we stopped using LibQual? Many libraries with good reputations in the assessment world issue annual or biennial surveys to check-in with users and get a longitudinal picture of the library overall. The results would provide a baseline to help us make informed decisions, and give us ideas of where we need to do further exploration through more focused assessment and/or UX studies. Strategic Priorities: Adopt Evidence-based Practices; Foster an Inclusive and Engaged Staff Culture; Contribute to Strategic Campus Initiatives |
|
Reimagining External Reporting Workflows | This project hopes to make the process of external data reporting more streamlined. This could include a single common spreadsheet which shows:
Strategic Priorities: Foster an Inclusive and Engaged Staff Culture. |
|
Stories of Impact | How can we gather and keep track of the stories of how staff made a difference for users, and what can we do with these stories? How can we tap into insights beyond the metrics we collect quantitatively? Strategic Priorities: Adopt Evidence-based Practices; Contribute to Strategic Campus Initiatives |
|
Reporting Learning Objects | This project would entail further discussions around how we report learning objects. This project is inter-connected with a number of other topics including findability, Accessibility, and library branding. Strategic Priorities: Adopt Evidence-based Practices |
