<p class="gmail-MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri">This is an active area for a variety of reasons. There is an
ongoing need to justify the work, space and resources invested in the library.
How best to appropriately generate, synthesize, interpret, and deliver the most
useful data to demonstrate the return on investment made by the institution is
a pressing concern. What do we know to be best practices for using altmetrics
in assessment? How comfortable are faculty with the use of altmetrics in the
context of tenure and promotion activities? <span></span></p>

<p class="gmail-MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri">NISO’s related working group has built a better
understanding of use cases for existing altmetrics, but already there are
discussions on whether new metrics might be usefully framed for measuring
research impact outside of the academic environment or for capturing the value
of unconventional outputs of research.<span></span></p>

evaluate the usefulness of data sets? What examples might be provided by
