Re-Framing Assessment: A Patron-Centered Approach, Jeanne M. Brown
Re-Framing Assessment: A Patron-Centered Approach, Jeanne M. Brown
Library Faculty Presentations
The Strategic Plan is a standard blueprint guiding library assessment activities. Many, if not most, Strategic Plans are organized along library departmental lines and/or library functions, and use language with which librarians frame their efforts—not language with which patrons would necessarily resonate. In an effort to drive home the concept that it is “impact on the patron” which should be the touchstone for all we do, the UNLV Libraries Dean and Assessment Librarian have created a framework which turns the Strategic Plan document on its head, making it patron-centric. From six goals, the UNLV plan was revised to focus on …

Young Adult Books Fiction Update, 2007-2008, Gregory A. Martin

Most colleges and universities with teacher training programs have collections of children's and young adult books. In many cases, the librarians who are responsible for selecting these books have a number of other responsibilities as well. This workshop is designed for those busy librarians who are not always able to devote the time they would like to selecting young adult books. We will explore selected “best” young adult books published during 2007 and 2008.

The Role Of Assessment In Furthering Student Engagement, Inclusion, And Achievement, Mary Allen, Patricia A. Iannuzzi
Library Faculty Presentations
Assessment is a vital component of any program or initiative in terms of monitoring and strengthening its impact. Assessment involves establishing outcomes (programmatic, learning, etc.), verifying that efforts are aligned with those outcomes, assessing impact, and “closing the loop” by using what is learned to make improvements. This presentation focused on characteristics of quality assessment, such as the need for it to be valid, reliable, actionable, and efficient. AAC&U’s cluster of intellectual and practical skills for a liberal education include inquiry and analysis; critical and creative thinking; written and oral communication; quantitative literacy; and teamwork and problem solving. Information literacy …

The Library As Experience: Interactive Components In An Architecture Library, Jason Aubin, Jeanne M. Brown
The Library As Experience: Interactive Components In An Architecture Library, Jason Aubin, Jeanne M. Brown
Library Faculty Presentations
For libraries to continue to exist they must create an experience which draws the patron back again and again — to both their virtual spaces and physical spaces.
This presentation concentrates on the physical ways a library, specifically in this case the Architecture Studies Library at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, can create experiences which enhance interactions — interaction between patron and materials, between patron and staff, and among patrons.
