[Libs-Or] OSU Libraries Presentation: Unethical Numbers? A Meta-analysis of Library Learning Analytics Studies

[Robertshaw, Brooke]

Hi all –
  As part of the seminar series we do here at Oregon State, I will be presenting a meta-analysis that Andrew Asher, assessment librarian at Indiana University, and I did of [academic] library impact studies that investigated the relationship between library services and GPA. I will also be doing an ethical critique of doing these kinds of studies, and next steps in light of our critique.

When: Friday, 15 February 2019, 10-11.30am
Where: Oregon State University Valley Library, Willamette East & West (3622) and  https://oregonstate.webex.com/join/brooke.robertshaw
Questions: Contact me, Brooke Robertshaw, brooke.robertshaw at oregonstate.edu
