Global library co-operative OCLC has announced a partnership with the Association of College & Research Libraries to design, develop and deliver a new ACRL agenda 'Action-Oriented Research Agenda on Library Contributions to Student Learning and Success.'
The team will be led by OCLC's Lynn Silipigni Connaway, joined by William Harvey, consulting software engineer at OCLC, and Vanessa Kitzie and Stephanie Mikitish, both doctoral candidates in the Library and Information Science program at Rutgers University. The team will seek regular feedback from both ACRL's Value of Academic Libraries committee and an advisory group consisting of academic librarians at 12 institutions that include community colleges, four-year colleges and research universities from secular, non-secular, public and private institutions representing the four geographical regions of the United States.
The team began work in early August 2016 and includes a presentation at this fall’s Library Assessment Conference as well as an online open forum in mid-November to share progress with the broader community and solicit feedback. A final document will be published in June 2017.
