This is a suite of Library guides on Library Assessment by the University of Tennessee. It includes assessment tools and resources, as well as data analysis tools and resources. Importantly, it also has a list of guiding principles that librarians can adapt to fit their own environment.
This resource is from Project Outcome. It has templates of surveys that academic libraries can use to get feedback from users in seven (7) areas of library services/resources.
This is a quality assessment framework for Library guides. However, it can be adapted and applied to other information services in academic libraries. Librarians can use the framework to understand performance metrics for their library services.
This resource lays the groundwork for practical SWOT analysis. Librarians can adapt the key points and use for internally generated data. The CPD coordinator can also use as it is as an exercise template for learning how to do SWOT analysis using library data.
Essentially, a SWOT analysis is an examination of the internal and external factors that impact the organization and its strategies. The internal factors are strengths and weaknesses; the external factors are opportunities and threats. A SWOT analysis gives an organization a clear picture of the “situation” in which it operates and helps it identify which strategies to pursue.
This resource is a module in a course on principles of marketing. Librarians can adapt it and use for practical SWOT processes that would lead them to benchmark how they handle internally generated data.
This resource is a suite of short guides on library assessment in a University library. It describes the mission, guiding principles, assessment and data analysis tools for the assessment. It also provides further reading materials for each step in the assessment process. The CPD coordinator for librarians can break down the assessment process and adapt different sections to suit the learning needs of librarians.
The purpose of this resource is to provide guidance for academic libraries seeking to incorporate dashboards and other data visualization tools into their assessment practice.
This suite of resources developed by Canadian Association of Research Libraries would lead librarians into an understanding of how to create data visualization tools such as dashboards for aligning performance indicators of theiroutputs for excellent academic library services.
