Community colleges are a cornerstone of higher education and serve the unique needs of the communities in which they reside. In 2019, community colleges accounted for 41 percent of all undergraduate students in the United States. Community college librarians are engaged in meaningful work designing and delivering library programs and services that meet the needs of their diverse populations and support student learning. The Community College Library series is meant to lift the voices of community college librarians and highlight their creativity, tenacity, and commitment to students. The Community College Library: Assessment explores the research, comprehensive plans, and new approaches to assessment being created by community college librarians around the U.S. Chapters include sample activities and materials and cover topics including assessing student learning while shifting from Standards to Framework; investigating and communicating library instruction's relationship to student retention; and building librarian assessment confidence through communities of research practice. This book demonstrates the innovative and replicable ways community college librarians are measuring, evaluating, and reflecting on the services they provide, and how to use these assessments to demonstrate the value and impact of library services and advocate for resources.

This easy-to-use guide offers a wealth of materials to assist you in planning and creating evaluation instruments for your library instruction program. It was prepared by a unit of the American Library Association, the Library Instruction Round Table Research Committee, whose members analyzed hundreds of evaluation forms gathered from all types of libraries, selecting the most consistently useful items. User-instruction programs are costly, and their effectiveness must be documented with hard data. But with busy staff, evaluation has often been more preached than practiced. One problem has been finding the expertise to create a valid measuring instrument that will provide effective results in a reasonable amount of time. Under the editorship of its chair, Diana Shonrock, the Research Committee has addressed these problems with a "recipe" book that simplifies the planning and creation of evaluation instruments. Here, in one expertly assembled guide, you will find step-by-step advice on survey planning and well over 500 sample questions for evaluation of class work, instructors, and instructional materials and equipment. No other guide offers this level of "plug-and-play" assistance to get your evaluation program under way or is more up-to-date in its coverage of the electronic aspects of modern library instruction.

This report provides Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) leaders and the academic community with a clear view of the current state of the literature on value of libraries within an institutional context, suggestions for immediate "Next Steps" in the demonstration of academic library value, and a "Research Agenda" for articulating academic library value. Its focus is to help librarians understand, based on professional literature, the current answer to the question, "How does the library advance the missions of the institution?" This report is also of interest to higher educational professionals external to libraries, including senior leaders, administrators, faculty, and student affairs professionals.
