Save the Dates for Assessment: October 26 and June 4

During the 2012-13 fiscal year, CLIC will host a series of professional development workshops focusing on various assessment issues. The series will culminate on June 4, 2013, with a CLIC-wide Assessment Conference featuring Megan Oakleaf, author of ACRL’s The Value of Academic Libraries.

To kick off our “Year of Assessment,” CLIC is hosting A View from the Field: Overview of Recent Assessment Activities in CLIC Libraries on Friday, October 26, 2012. The Kick-Off Program will begin with an introduction to CLIC’s “Year of Assessment” by CLIC Board Chair, Dan Gjelten. Following Dan, each CLIC institution will provide a brief summary of local assessment projects to give the CLIC community a broad overview of what other CLIC libraries have been doing.  At the end of the morning, attendees will be asked for their feedback on what specific assessment topics they would like to see offered in the CLIC workshop series.  CLIC library staff not in attendance at the kick-off program will be able to submit their suggestions via an online survey.

Please mark the dates on your calendars and watch for updates re: location and times on CLIC-announce and CLIC News!
