Assessment

Lippincott, Joan K. “Assessing Information Commons,” EBSCO Vantage Point Series.

服務評估大概不離量度用量和利用問卷調查，這些方法都忽略了兩點：評估內容與機構目的和學習優次脫節、評估服務對讀者的貢獻；作者列出兩個假想例子：

１．圖書館跟某課程合作，緊密支援學生完成課程要求的作業，完結後向老師和同學收集意見；

２．假設大學要在學生當中建立學習社群，圖書館可在空間和服務上給予支援；

在評估工作方面，作者提出圖書館可以找這方面的專家合作。

Author raised 2 concerns with current assessment measures: there is often no clear link between the nature of the assessment and the institutional goals or learning priorities; there is often a lack of consideration of the potential audience(s) for the output of the assessment activities and what will have most impact on them. 2 hypothetical scenarios illustrated the assessment of 2 IC supporting UG research and learning communities. Emphasized planning process and importance of partnership with campus assessment experts.
