The Association of Research Libraries (ARL), the University of Virginia Library, the University of Washington Libraries, and the Conference Planning Committee have called for proposals for the 2012 Library Assessment Conference. The event, called ‘Building Effective, Sustainable, Practical Assessment’, is scheduled for October 29-31, 2012, in Charlottesville, Virginia.
The conference goal is to build and further a vibrant library assessment community by bringing together interested practitioners and researchers who have responsibility or interest in the broad field of library assessment. The conference provides a mix of invited speakers, contributed papers and posters, and workshops that stimulate discussion and provide workable ideas for effective, practical and sustainable library assessment. This biennial conference builds on the success of the first three conferences held in Charlottesville (2006), Seattle (2008), and Baltimore (2010).
Proposals are invited as either papers or posters that cover any aspect of library assessment. The Conference Planning Committee especially encourages proposals in the areas such as collaborative assessment; digital libraries; information resources, collections, and e-metrics; learning outcomes; management information; methods and tools; organisational issues; performance measurement and measures; return on investment (ROI); services; space planning and use; special collections; usability; user needs; and value and impact. All proposals are due by March 30, 2012.
