    All are welcome at the Collection Evaluation and Assessment Interest Group session during ALCTS Virtual Interest Group Week (June 8-12, 2020) .

     

    The Collections Evaluation and Assessment Interest Group is pleased to collaborate with the Chair of the LLAMA Assessment Community of Practice on a session featuring three presenters from Temple University who will share information about innovations Temple University Libraries put into place as they moved during the spring of 2020 to fully virtual operations, and what they learned that will inform collection decisions looking ahead. 

     

    Presenters:

    • Steven Bell, Associate University Librarian, Temple University Libraries
    • Olivia Given Castello, Head of Business, Social Sciences & Education; Library Liaison to the School of Social Work, Temple University Libraries
    • Brian, Schoolar, Head, Acquisitions & Collection Development, Temple University Libraries

     

    Moderator: Nancy Turner, Associate Director for Organizational Research & Strategy Alignment, Temple University Libraries; Chair of the Chair of the LLAMA Assessment Community of Practice

     

    General discussion topics include:

    1. How does collections temporarily shifting to all virtual change our thinking about collections usage.
    2. What are we learning about patron behaviors now that might inform our future collection development.
    3. Given the likelihood of budget shortfalls for collections, how might our current pandemic experience impact future decision making.
