The Association of Research Libraries (ARL), US, is to hold a Lib-Value workshop on the latest return-on-investment (ROI) methods employed by academic libraries. The workshop will review the methodologies developed and applied to date. It will also seek to help the audience expand its understanding of how one can measure, describe and articulate the value of libraries in a competitive environment. The event is slated for June 26, 2010 at the Gelman Library of George Washington University.
Lib-Value is a three-year study funded by a grant from IMLS, with the ultimate goal of understanding how to measure value and ROI in all aspects of academic libraries. The workshop is a collaborative effort of ARL with the University of Tennessee, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and George Washington University.
Members of the grant who will speak at the workshop include Paula Kaufman, Dean of Libraries and University Librarian at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; Donald W. King, University of Tennessee and Bryant University; Bruce Kingma, Associate Provost for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Syracuse University; Martha Kyrillidou, Senior Director of ARL Statistics and Service Quality Programs, Association of Research Libraries; and Regina Mays, Program Manager of the Lib-Value grant, University of Tennessee.
