Book Review: Putting Assessment into Action: Selected Projects from the First Cohort of the Assessment in Action Grant

Abstract

Creating, implementing, and managing academic library programs can be a daunting task in itself, but how do academic librarians successfully assess the outcomes of multifaceted, long-term programs? In 2013 and 2014, ACRL began an Assessment in Action (AiA) grant program to monitor the results and outcomes of twenty-seven American and Canadian academic library programs, including programs on information literacy, student collaboration, management of technology facilities, space optimization, and linkage of student retention with research assistance.
