ILL Data Storm – Practical Assessment
Using data to inform decisions in a library is paramount in today’s world of tight budgets. Managers, Directors, Deans, and Provosts want numbers to prove that a service is beneficial. Several resource sharing professionals will speak to how they collect and use data, whether to improve services, influence collection decisions, or justify their existence. At the end of the program, attendees will walk away with ideas about how to assess their ILL data for improvements in their department. Time will be allotted for small groups to discuss their experiences and exchange ideas. Librarians, managers, and staff involved in developing or using resource sharing and interlibrary loan data, will really enjoy this preconference.
