Abstract:
A report on two invitational summits supported by a National Leadership Collaborative Planning Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services as part of ACRL's Value of Academic Libraries Initiative. The report – co-authored by Karen Brown, associate professor at Dominican University, and ACRL Senior Strategist for Special Initiatives Kara Malenfant – summarizes broad themes about the dynamic nature of higher education assessment that emerged from the summits. Additionally, listen to a conversation with Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe and Megan Oakleaf, co-chairs of ACRL’s Value of Academic Libraries committee, about the report.
