Description: Establishing a culture of assessment means embedding an
assessment component into every library operation. This process is crucial
for providing responsive, high-quality library services. This presentation
will share our journey crafting and deploying an assessment framework
across library initiatives during the global pandemic. We will highlight a
few examples to show how the process helped us create adapted services and
make timely adjustments on to decisions throughout the pandemic period. We
will address how we responded to resistance, generated buy-in, and
empowered library staff to act using the framework to establish a
sustainable culture of assessment.

Learning outcomes:

By the end of this webinar, attendees will:

1. Gain solid understanding the operational definition and purpose of “a
culture of sustainable assessment”;

2. Understand a conceptual model for an assessment framework; and

3. Be able to adapt the principles, practices, and methodologies for
building a feasible assessment framework.

Who should attend?
