Library Research Round Table Discussion Forum: Solving Tomorrow’s Problems through Analysis of Data
Description: All libraries face challenges related to finances, technology, information production and other sources. Using quantitative and qualitative data to investigate the challenges and to search for solutions will become increasingly important if libraries are to respond effectively to demands being placed on them.
Speakers: Two panelists, Scott Seaman, Dean of Ohio University Libraries and Susan Searing, Interim Associate University Librarian for User Services/Associate Dean of Libraries, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who are well-versed in the kinds of problems libraries face, will establish a framework for discussion and will create the stage for audience participation in the exploration of problems and solutions.
Join the conversation at ALA's Midwinter Meeting in Seattle.
