The LibValue project is a three-year study funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services to define and measure ways in which libraries create value through teaching and learning; research; and social, professional, and public engagement. LibValue is a collaboration among the University of Tennessee, Knoxville; the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Libraries; and ARL, with partners at Syracuse University and Bryant University. This is the fifth in a series of six free webcasts to be held in 2013. Register for the LibValue webcast series.
