Forum on ACRL’s Value of Academic Libraries Initiative

Session URL: http://ala12.scheduler.ala.org/node/207

My notes:

  • got in a little late and missed the broader setting of colleges in general
  • they did a big summit
  • some comments from that – doing lots of assessment but not much conversation after getting the reports back
  • slide of list of impact areas identified as the Summits
  • white paper – connect, collaborate and communicate – http://www.acrl.ala.org/value/?p=381
  • acrl.org/value – they want to know what we’re doing – help create community of practice
  • applied for next level grant
    • hoping to get 300 institutions involved over 3 years
    • lowercase student success study
    • teams need at least 1 librarian and 2 others in institution that aren’t librarians
    • librarian would participate in a 1 year professional development program
  • next webinar july 19
  • survey question about whether the library had contributed to their success – likert
  • qualitative question from a famous ohio survey (school librarians)
    • remember the last time you got help at the library
      • what help did you get
      • what did that help enable you to do
  • on library website – “why are you using the library” “is there anything you’d like to tell us about the library?” – during library snapshot day
  • library school student did some text analysis
  • they were trying to show the diversity of themes
  • show the huge range of activities that people are engaged in
  • libvalue project will be releasing papers on faculty reading
  • terri did a faculty question:
    • did you publish, perform, create something, etc.
    • did the library help you (including list of possible ways)
    • 75% said yes – great piece of information for her to show to higher ups
  • making assessment actionable
  • megan has a workbook coming out
  • higher ups willing to accept correlation/connection even if you can’t do the in depth statistical analysis for causation
  • don’t have to have your own statistical expertise in house
  • state of Washington community colleges hired in that expertise at the state level since that was where they were funded

I was also interested in seeing:

Transforming Collections

What will library collections look like in the near future? A distinguished panel of academic and public library leaders will discuss the current landscape, dramatic changes taking place in how we define library collections, and innovative ways for libraries to transform collections in the global information environment.

And

Conversation Starters: Working with Flamethrowers: How to Fuel Innovative Outreach in Academic Libraries

Why does outreach matter in academic libraries? And exactly what it is (advertising, PR, instruction, book clubs)? This panel discussion will examine why outreach should be a part of every academic library’s mission, how to think about it, and ways to actively engage users through outreach efforts. The panel will share innovative outreach efforts they’ve done at their institutions ranging from the graphic novel “Library of the Living Dead” guide to hosting a first-year student Information Carnival. This discussion will offer ways to think about outreach for your specific institution and provide ideas to try yourself. This panel will focus in particular on ways to engage students through outreach activities.

And

Critical Thinking and Library Instruction: Fantasyland or Adventureland?

LIRT provides a forum for conversation and professional development in library instruction and information literacy, key components to lifelong learning. Critical thinking competencies are essential to this process.  As librarians move beyond “how to” instruction sessions, incorporating educational principles and practices, such as critical thinking, will help leverage their collaborations with user communities.  Join us as we explore how libraries can promote successful information literacy outcomes through theory-based instruction, practical critical thinking activities, and faculty-librarian partnership in pedagogy.
