Description
In 2016, the University of Florida George A. Smathers Libraries created a new position and hired an Assessment Librarian. Five years later, the program is highly agile and supports a larger culture of assessment. This talk will outline the steps, and missteps, as well as the scope of a program that includes an Assessment Advisory Team and multiple sub-teams. The program supports grant applications, IRB submissions, assessment resource recommendations, user engagement, usability and user-experience studies, public service assessment, dashboard development, and continues to expand. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the key steps for implementing a successful program, of the elements of UF’s current assessment program, and of what the horizon looks like as we build infrastructure to support local initiatives. The presenters will utilize interactive technologies to engage the audience in the talk and to share more widely their own institution’s unique assessment path.
