Developed for ACRL by Megan Oakleaf of the iSchool at Syracuse University,
this
valuable resource reviews the quantitative and qualitative literature,
methodologies
and best practices currently in place for demonstrating the value of
academic libraries.
The full report, along with supplemental materials, is freely available
online

Increasing recognition of the value of libraries and librarians by leaders
in higher
education, information technology, funding agencies, and campus decision
making
is one of ACRL's six strategic priorities. Recognizing the sense of
urgency around
this issue, the report is intended to help academic librarians participate
in the
conversation and to identify resources to support them in demonstrating
the value
of academic libraries in clear, measurable ways.
"This report presents the vision and the reality of the value of academic
libraries
and their contributions to institutional goals and outcomes," said ACRL
President
Lisa Hinchliffe of the University of Illinois at Urbana - Champaign.
"Through it,
we have a shared knowledge base for the association and our members as we
pursue
this strategic priority."
The primary objective of this comprehensive review is to provide academic
librarians
and institutional leaders with a clearer understanding of what research
about the
performance of academic libraries already exists and where gaps in this
research
occur. The report additionally identifies the most promising best
practices and
measures correlated to performance and represents a starting point to
assist college,
university, and community college librarians in gathering evidence to tell
the story
of their libraries and promote dialogue on the value of the academic
library in
higher education.
"Documenting the evidence we have for the impact of academic libraries on
student,
faculty, and institutional success will enable library leaders to respond
proactively
to calls for accountability and return on investment. Identifying the gaps
charts
a path for the data we need to gather and analyze," explained Hinchliffe.
"In the
coming months, the ACRL will be turning its attention to strategies for
pursuing
the research agenda recommended in the report, identifying funding
sources for
projects, and developing training and support materials for our members."
The full report is now freely available on the ACRL Website
