 Message: Gotcha! For collections assessment, I read about a few frameworks in Madeline Kelly's The Complete Collections Assessment Manual, and decided to use the one outlined by Borin and Yi for general collection assessment: https://doi.org/10.1108/01604950810913698

Thanks, Alice! Our framework/philosophy is intended to guide and inform all of my library's assessment efforts - collections, student learning, user satisfaction, program evaluation, etc. Example documents addressing any or all of those areas are welcome!

Hi Megan, I'm on a sabbatical working out the same questions you are, but my focus is on collections, and the framework I am using is very specific to that area. The answers to your questions may differ depending on what you are hoping to assess.

Good luck!

Hi, colleagues,

Our library will soon begin drafting an assessment philosophy/framework. We intend for this framework to guide the overall scope of and approach to assessment at our library.

If your library has such a document/statement and you're willing to share it (or you're aware of a publicly available exemplar from another library), I'd love to see it!

Thanks for considering!

Megan
