Assessment Community

The Library Assessment Conference is a biennial event gathering a vibrant community of practitioners and researchers engaged with the noble mission of demonstrating the value of the library in today's ever-changing environment. As library assessment is gaining in prominence as institutional calls for greater accountability abound, the conference provides a mix of invited speakers, contributed papers and posters, and workshops that stimulate discussion and provide workable ideas for effective, practical and sustainable assessment.

Online communities are available through the Library Assessment Blog and the ARL-ASSESS e-mail list. ARL also offers training in relevant skills and methods through such events as the Service Quality Evaluation Academy
