Research Assessment and Metrics Discussion Group

Good morning, 

I am writing to inform you that after repeated attempts to contact the past convener to find a new convener for the Research Assessment and Metrics Discussion Group, ACRL staff received no response. The group has not met in over two years. ACRL staff has made three separate attempts to reach the most recent Convener, with no response. Due to the inability to find leadership, and contact the most recent convener, ACRL staff are requesting the group be dissolved. 

According to the ACRL Guide to Policies and Procedures, ACRL may request the dissolution of a discussion group if the group fails to appoint a leader and/or meet at the two ALA conferences during the previous year. 

ACRL has not received an appointment acceptance form for a leader of the  Research Assessment and Metrics Discussion Group and will request that the ACRL Board dissolve the discussion group at the 2024 Annual Conference unless leadership can be confirmed before that time. 

Best regards,
Aleah Price, Program Coordinator 

Dear Collleagues:

It would appear that unless one of us steps forward, then the Discussion Group will end.  Since I'm the lead person at my university for Research Metrics, I would be very sorry to see this group end.  Could we share our thoughts on whether or not we want the group to continue?

I am graduating from an ALA accredited program in May, and I have an interest in library assessment. I would like to see this resource continue.

Esther,

First, congratulations on all of your hard work coming to fruition.  New colleagues are a welcome sign.  Your mention of library assessment prompts me to ask a question I've always had about this Discussion Group (a group I haven't been particularly active in, I must confess).  Does this group deal with library assessment or research assessment done by libraries?  Or, perhaps both?  Can someone enlighten us?

I would love to be a part of a discussion about this.  I'm not up to speed enough to know if this is being discussed in other groups though?

Hello all,

I would love to be a part of a discussion group like this. I'm new to librarianship - I started as a research librarian in Dec 2023 - but I'd be happy to help keep the group up and running however I'm able.

All the best,

Norm

Thank you Laura!

It will be good to see the group active again.  I'm also glad to see younger librarians stepping forward.  We need their energy!  Hopefully we can also include some virtual activity as well - traveling has become difficult at this stage of life.

At our university, we have access to Scopus/Scival, WoS and Dimensions.  We also use Symplectic Elements as our RIM and our branded version of Figshare (Kilthub) as a data and document repository.  We have four people trying our best to run a service with a small fraction of our time each.   We have some other tools like Altmetric Explorer and Scite.ai.  It's a real challenge to keep on top of them all.
