SUMMARY:ASERL Complimentary webinar: Effective\, Sustainable\, and Practical Library Assessment
DESCRIPTION:Library assessment\, like many library operations\, is at an inflection point not unlike many other library services. The introduction of AI is influencing library assessment much like it is influencing other parts of the operations of an academic library. Therefore\, more than any other time in the past\, it is important to be aware of Socrates’ 7 critical thinking rules while we are ensuring effective\, sustainable\, and practical library assessment tools\, services\, and community forums.\nTransition and transformation is taking place in the ways the Library Assessment Conference will be offered in the future\, in the ways LibQUAL\, ClimateQUAL\, MINES of Libraries and similar tools are shifting from being available through established non-profit structures to an interest based community approach\, and in the ways we are being called to ensure that library assessment continues to be effective\, sustainable\, and practical. By effective we want to ensure that library assessment is delivering the maximum benefit it can deliver\, by sustainable we want to ensure that the evidence and the data are available in some form to the community\, and by practical we want to ensure that it informs real decision making in an impactful way.\nThe introduction of AI has challenged our thinking about library assessment.\nSo\, what do we\nWe will feature the future pathway for delivering LibQUAL and ClimateQUAL and at the same time iteratively building on improving the delivery of these protocols in ways that ensure they are effective\, sustainable\, and practical. We will follow up with discussions and community forums on how library transformations are reflected in what people expect and how this is changing over time in relation to expectations from library staff\, content\, access\, and library spaces. Outcomes: Share library improvement efforts that are supported through evidence and data Showcase LibQUAl score improvements associated with transformations in library services Discuss how libraries can continue to improve in future years

SUMMARY:ASERL Complimentary webinar: Beyond Retention: Mechanisms to Support Librarian Job and Career Success and Longevity
DESCRIPTION:Summary: A recent IMLS-funded grant project investigated the factors that impact librarians’ retention in the library and information science (LIS) field. Through a nation-wide survey and the completion of 30 semi-structured interviews\, the project found that while retention to the field was a concern for many participants\, the more salient concern was retention within their current jobs. This session will highlight the factors identified as most impactful for retaining librarians both in their positions and in the field\, as well as the contextual factors that supported resiliency. The presenters will engage participants in conversation around how individuals and organizations can respond to these factors and work collaboratively to better support librarian job and career retention.  \nPresenters:\nDr. Mónica Colón-Aguirre is an associate professor at the University of South Carolina\, School of Information Science. She is a recipient of the Spectrum Doctoral Fellowship (2008) and has more than a decade of experience as an instructor and researcher.  \nAmy VanScoy is an Associate Professor in the Department of Information Science at the University at Buffalo. Her research explores professional work and practitioner thinking in library and information science.  \nDr. Kawanna M. Bright (she/her) is Associate Professor of Library Science at East Carolina University. Her current research focuses on assessment in libraries; equity\, diversity\, and inclusion (EDI) in libraries; the application of research methodology to the study of library and information science; and the liaison librarianship role in academic libraries.
