The rise of electronic resources, the new parity of access and ownership,
and today's service orientation all combine to foil traditional methods of
measuring academic library collections. In this program, librarians
participating in ARL's "New Measures" initiatives as well as in independent
local initiatives will discuss what they have learned about measuring and
assessing the effectiveness of today's academic library collections. Please
join us for this examination of a topic touching the work of every
librarian.
Our speakers have been prominent contributors in a variety of "New Measures"
initiatives.
Julia Blixrud, Director of Information Services, Association of Research
Libraries, will facilitate the session.
Carla J. Stoffle, Dean of Libraries and Center for Creative Photography,
