Panel 3: Demonstrating Library Impact on Faculty Research
Thursday, November 7 | 2:25p – 3:15p | Grand Ballroom
Demonstrating Library Impact—What has the library field accomplished in this area? Considering the typical tri-partite mission of higher education (teaching, research, service; patient care is also captured where and when applicable), how mature are library efforts in addressing each of the areas? What have been the challenges in assessing impact on faculty research and scholarly activities? Library Cost Study— What is the Library Cost Study and how did it come to be? As a longstanding approach to documenting library use, what are the limitations and challenges libraries face with implementing it? How could it be updated to reflect contemporary library services and evaluation methodologies? Other Strategies—What other examples are there of documenting library impact on faculty research and scholarly activity? How can libraries partner with other units (e.g., Office for Research, Institutional Research, etc.) to obtain data that will help strengthen their demonstration of impact on faculty research? What opportunities do you see to enhance efforts in this area?
