Presenter: Erin McCaffrey - Digital Systems Librarian, Regis University

 

Description:

Institutional program review guidelines often list the library as a
resource for departments undergoing review.  However, more academic
libraries are being included in their institution's review cycle and
asked to undergo program review themselves.  This session will introduce
academic program review; discuss what is involved in putting together a
program review for an academic library; and present questions to

consider in working through the program review process.

Description:

In 2007, the University of Rochester Libraries completed a two-year
study of undergraduates, with a focus on how students conduct research
within the context of campus life.  Anthropological methodologies, such
as cultural probes, interviews, and mapping diaries, were used to
construct a holistic picture of the lives of undergraduates. The results
of the study have informed decision making at the Libraries and has
helped staff align efforts with the needs and expectations of the Net
Generation.  Discover how the findings from the study enhance work with
students.
