Baking A Cake With No Recipe: Mixing Methods For Discovery Layer Assessment, Ebony Magnus, Hui Hua Chua
Southeastern Library Assessment Conference
In August 2014, Michigan State University Libraries implemented Summon and a team of librarians from various units was assembled to assess the usage and usability of the discovery layer. Bringing unique perspectives and experiences, the team employed a range of methodologies including text analysis, quantitative analysis, usability testing, and web analytics. This presentation will: review the methodologies and tools that were used; consider the importance of examining the results of each method in concert; and also share findings from the first year of data collection and analysis.

In 2014 the Digital Library Federation (DLF) Assessment Interest Group developed a Digital Library Assessment Framework and began engaging the community in the development of best practices and guidelines around digital library assessment. This presentation will address the progress of the interest group in its first year. We will provide background information on the DLF Assessment Interest Group, outline the collaborative methods used to document common practices and to develop best practices, and solicit audience feedback on the group’s methodology and results to date.

Library assessment is like putting together a puzzle with many pieces, and some of these pieces can be forgotten or even lost. This presentation provides attendees with the missing puzzle piece they need to begin using their assessment data to actively engage stakeholders through library value conversations. The presenter will establish the importance of communicating assessment findings and library impact to stakeholders, and arm attendees with effective communication tools and strategies for communicating library value at their institution.
Defendable, Persuasive, And Insightful Budget Analysis Methods, Brian Keith
Defendable, Persuasive, And Insightful Budget Analysis Methods, Brian Keith
Southeastern Library Assessment Conference
As universities adopt budgeting models and concepts borrowed from business, libraries are pressured to assess and justify their budgets using the most persuasive and defendable methods possible. Attendees will learn innovative assessment techniques which allow for a rational examination of library funding across institutions. The numerous approaches, including linear regression (with results with high correlation coefficients), can be readily replicated and allow libraries to assess the resources of their system in comparison to demand indicators for their university.

Wrangling The Megalith: Mapping The Data Ecosystem Of The Harvard Library, Mark Shelton
Southeastern Library Assessment Conference
Understanding how to map a library's data ecosystem is critical to helping manage the variety of data sources that describe the library and its work. Mapping the kinds of data, its source, and the people involved is only the beginning, yet the challenges faced can offer opportunities when it comes to supporting strategic planning.
Participatory User Experience At The Michigan State University Libraries, Ebony Magnus
Participatory User Experience At The Michigan State University Libraries, Ebony Magnus
Southeastern Library Assessment Conference
Participatory design is an excellent way to engage the user, increase sense of ownership, and complete projects that might not otherwise fit into a busy librarian’s schedule. In spring 2015, the User Experience team at Michigan State University Libraries had the good fortune of partnering with undergraduates to work on two space-related projects. This presentation will consider the benefits of engaging student stakeholders as design consultants, and presenters will share the impressive results of the two student-led user experience projects.
Design Thinking: An Unexpected Path To Innovation And Problem Solving, Christine Quirion, Cassandra Silvia
Design Thinking: An Unexpected Path To Innovation And Problem Solving, Christine Quirion, Cassandra Silvia
Southeastern Library Assessment Conference
During our recent renovation planning process, the MIT Libraries was offered the opportunity to act as client for an MIT Sloan School of Management student seminar. The library provided a problem statement, and within two and a half days, five student teams learned and applied a business approach to design thinking to develop solutions for the library, presenting results to faculty and library administrators at the end. These results were contrasted with data gathered from traditional assessment tools, indicating areas for further study or exploration and key principles to fold into the schematic design process.

Metrics With Meaning: How Can We Effect Change To Library Assessment Metrics Used By Non-Library Organizations, Lisa Horowitz, Kirsten Kinsley, Zsuzsa Koltay, Zoltán Szentkirályi
Southeastern Library Assessment Conference
Many library metrics and statistics that are gathered regularly by accreditation agencies, publishers, and other entities to inform stakeholders have stagnated and are no longer effective in illustrating library value. In this talk, we will highlight measures collected by accreditation agencies and publishers that are not effective, and then describe potential ways to have short-term and long-term impact on changing these national metrics so that they better represent libraries of the 21st century.
