Session Type: Professional Development

Libraries exist to make a difference in the lives of their users—and in the success of their institutions. Eschewing traditionally passive roles, today's librarians take a proactive approach. This session will highlight new ways librarians align library services with institutional priorities and use rigorous outcomes assessment data to effect change.


OUTCOMES: Identify linkages between library services and institutional mission * Summarize research demonstrating library value to and impact on institutional mission * Translate patterns of institutional alignment and assessment to your own units
