Original Invitation
The Proficiencies for Assessment in Academic Libraries: Importance and Where They Should Be Acquired research team invites individuals who participate in academic library assessment in your institutions (e.g., primary role, component of your job, member of an assessment committee, supervise assessment professionals, etc.) to complete this survey to help answer the following questions.
- How important do practicing academic librarians consider the ACRL 2023 Proficiencies for Assessment in Academic Libraries to be in their jobs?
- Where do practicing academic librarians believe these proficiencies should be learned or acquired?
We anticipate that survey will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. All responses are anonymous and no identifiable information will be gathered.
For questions or additional information, please contact a member of our research team.
This research was approved by the Syracuse University IRB, protocol #24-238.
