Call for Proposals: ALCTS CMS Collection Evaluation and Assessment
Interest Group at ALA Midwinter
The ALCTS CMS Collection Evaluation and Assessment Interest Group
invites speakers to participate at the Collection Evaluation and
Assessment Interest Group session at the ALA Midwinter Meeting in
Seattle on Sunday, Jan. 27, 2013 from 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm.
The mission of the ALCTS CMS Collection Evaluation and Assessment
Interest Group is dedicated to quantitative measures based on commonly
defined data; managing information resources and developing
institutional benchmarking; exploring, developing, and promoting the use
of both descriptive data and outcomes/impacts data.
The theme of the session will be "Findings that surprised us"---an
exploration of different case studies in which people's data findings
were unexpected, and how they used this data to shape their future work
with their collections.
Proposed sessions should describe both how and why the data was gathered
and how the data was used to spark decisions/changes in collection
development. Proposals on both small and large scale findings are welcomed.
Presentations should be approximately 15-20 minutes in length.
Additional time will be allowed for questions and discussion.
Please send abstracts of proposals to Amelia Brunskill
(_abrunski_at_depaul.edu_ <mailto:abrunski_at_depaul.edu>) by Friday, Nov. 16,
2012. If you have questions, please contact us. We look forward to
hearing from you!
Thanks so much,
