Library and Learning Resource Programs: Evaluation and Self-Study, CJCLS Guide #3
Wanda K. Johnston, editor
To receive and renew accreditation, colleges must engage in regular assessment and planning cycles, a process which also affects their library/learning resource programs. This volume addresses several major areas of evaluation and self-study through a survey of libraries' practices. Topics covered include how respondents use reports and plans, statistical reports, and user satisfaction surveys, with extensive sample documentation in each of these areas. Appendices include a bibliography, criteria of each of the regional accrediting agencies, and the ACRL Standards for Community, Junior, and Technical College Learning Resources Programs.
