Assessment exercises for institutional libraries are frequently a
double-edged sword; they’re as readily used to justify cuts as they are to
bolster budgets. This NISO virtual conference provides expert insights into
how data gathered in the normal course of activities can be leveraged to
demonstrate value to the parent institution. Data represent the raw
material for building your case. What data are available? How is their
quality? What is the appropriate context for persuasively presenting that
data to deans, provosts and other administrators? This virtual conference
will address the very hot topic of library assessment in the context of a
changing educational environment and features a complete roster of expert
speakers, including:


   - ·      *Steven J. Bell*, Associate University Librarian, Temple
   University
   - ·      *Nancy Turner*, Assessment and Organizational Performance
   Librarian, Temple University
   - ·      *Jocelyn Wilk*, University Archivist, Columbia University
   -      *Elisabeth Brown*, Director of Assessment & Scholarly
   Communications Librarian, SUNY-Binghamton
   - ·      *Ken Varnum*, Senior Program Manager for Discovery, Delivery, &
   Learning Analytics, University of Michigan
   - ·      *Jan Fransen*, Service Lead for Researcher and Discovery
   Systems, University of Minnesota
   -      *Kristi Holmes*, Directer, Galter Health Sciences Library,
   Northwestern University
   -      *Starr Hoffman*, Head, Planning & Assessment, University of
   Nevada - Las Vegas
   - ·      *Carl Grant*, Chief Technology Officer and Associate University
   Librarian for Knowledge Services, University of Oklahoma
