The Library Assessment Cookbook

Features 80 practical, easy-to-implement recipes divided into nine sections: Data Preparation for Assessments; Traditional and Online Collections Assessments; Instruction Programs Assessments; Outreach and Programming Assessment; Assessments Assessment; Strategic Planning Assessment; Service Points Assessment; Equipment, Building, and Space Assessment; and Web Services Assessment.
Assessment examines how library services and resources impact and are perceived by users, and guides strategic planning discussions and development of future acquisitions and services. Assessment is fundamental to positioning your library within your organization and effectively demonstrating how it furthers your institution’s goals. And it can be more of an art than a science, using the qualitative and quantitative data available to you to show your library’s alignment with the needs and mission of your organization.
