LibValue: Digitized Special Collections (video on YouTube)

The video of the webcast “LibValue: Digitized Special Collections” presented on August 15 is now available on ARL’s YouTube channel. This webcast describes how contingent valuation and Google Analytics can be used to measure the value of digitized special collections. The presenters are Ken Wise, associate professor, University of Tennessee Libraries; Gayle Baker, professor and electronic resources coordinator, University of Tennessee Libraries; and Martha Kyrillidou, senior director of statistics and service quality programs, ARL. Webcast slides (PDF) are also available for download. 

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 last in a series of six free webcasts held in 2013.
