Description: Technical services assessment practices involve a variety of
possibilities. In this webinar, we’ll begin with an overview of published
literature and the types of cataloging assessment projects librarians have
written about, including those focusing on quality control, efficiency,
cost, and more. We’ll discuss methods and tools that can be used for
different assessment purposes. As part of this, participants will be
provided with information about where to learn more about relevant research
methodologies. We’ll conclude by discussing how assessment practices can
support institutional and professional goals and values.

Learning outcomes:

As a result of this program, participants will:

   -

   Identify an assessment goal
   -

   Select an appropriate assessment tool or methodology for their goal
   -

   Express how their assessment goal supports a professional value


Who should attend?

The series is geared toward librarians in technical services who want to do
research but don't know where to start.

Presenter:

Jessica Schomberg became interested in cataloging in high school, after
arguing with the public library cataloger about where the science fiction
should be shelved. Jessica currently serves as the Media Cataloger and as
the Library Services Department Chair at Minnesota State University,
Mankato. Jessica’s educational background includes a MA in English:
Teaching English as a Second Language from Minnesota State University,
Mankato, and a MLIS from the University of Washington, Seattle.
