Assessment Practices and Metrics in the 21^st Century: A 2019 NISO Training Series

Friday, October 25 - Friday, December 20, 2019, 11:30am – 1:00pm (Eastern, US & Canada)

Course Moderator: Dr. Martha Kyrillidou, CEO, QualityMetrics, LLC. 

Assessment must be an element of the process by which libraries move forward in transforming their spaces, their services, and their collections. The 2019 NISIO Training Series will focus on those transformations and the complexities in bringing them to fruition. Eight leading professionals present specific case studies focusing on assessment as applied to the following four areas:

·      Space

·      Collections

·      Services

·      Strategic Innovation

The course will feature speakers in a variety of roles and from a variety of institutions so that the discussions will address the needs of a spectrum of practitioners. The Q&A segment will encourage attendee thinking about emerging needs associated with the topics presented.

As a bonus, registration for this eight-week series includes access to the archived recordings from the 2018 Training Series on Assessment Practices and Metrics in the 21st Century. That initial webinar series addressed the basics -- the practical processes -- of assessment.
