The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) Statistics and Measurement Program is offering a full-day workshop on Value and Impact with Stephen Town, Director of the University Library & Archives, University of York (UK). The aim of the workshop is to explain, illustrate, and engage with potential methods of value and impact measurement, drawing on UK and other international academic library experience.
The workshop will be a mix of lecture, case studies, discussion and participant group work to provide experience with use of value and impact tools. The morning session will include consideration of impact measurement, drawing on the SCONUL VAMP project and its impact measurement tool, and allow time for consideration of how this method might be applied in participants' libraries. In the afternoon session, the field of value measurement will be reviewed, again allowing time for consideration of how tools and techniques might be applied locally.
Scheduled for June 28, 2010, the workshop is expected to help participants develop a broad personal and institutional perspective of this area of library performance measurement. It is aimed at academic library directors and senior staff, and staff with either interest or specific responsibility in assessment or performance measurement.
