  1. Improve tools.  Ex. Finish web based submission tool for reference (we already have gate count and circulation).  It is really helpful to have this information readily available.

  2. Provide UTL general peer analysis information on the staff web page.

- collection use:

  1. Is there a way to identify what’s trending in the disciplines we serve based upon use? 

  2. Browsing –is there a way to document this type of use?

  3. Database specific- which ones are of highest use?  Will help us to focus promotion on valuable resources that aren’t being tapped.

  4. TARO at at archival collection level- would help in determining where to focus processing efforts based upon demand

Discipline specific - what % of what is published is even available in eform? Trends

  1. KIC scanner

  2. Public scanners

Service Managers,
 
I am following up on our discussion at the last meeting. As I mentioned, the Assessment Team has been reconstituted. I have attached the Team’s charge. As a mentioned, the Team is in the Phase 1 of the charge and working on an environmental scan and data inventory. We are trying to create a snapshot of what kind of assessment is happening in the Libraries and, what I think might be more important, what kind of assessment you would like to see in the future.
 
Can you help us gather information about assessment at your branches? Members of the Assessment Team are meeting with other departments and subject teams. What I am gathering is more branch-specific information, but feel free to include ideas for things you would like to see assessed. I have recorded some of your feedback on a GoogleDoc. If you would like to provide more feedback, please visit the link and edit the document. I will be sending this document to the team next Monday, so make any edits before then.
 
Let me know if you have any questions.
 
Joe
