Event Description
Assessment is a key component of determining the success of library programming and services. Knowing where to begin with assessment can be a difficult task, made even more challenging by the large variety of programming and services in need of assessment. This webinar will introduce basic assessment concepts and connect them to practical approaches to engaging in library assessment with a focus on library instruction and library programs. Key aspects of library assessment will be discussed, including the importance of determining who, what, when, where, why, and how.
