Library Assessment Committee

Charge

The Library Assessment Committee (LAC) advises the Library and Library Assessment on the prioritizing, planning and implementation of assessment activities. Members may assist in identifying assessment opportunities, designing assessment tools, promoting assessment activities, and fostering a culture of assessment within the Library. The committee shares in accountability for the success of the assessment program and evaluates its effectiveness in supporting the Library’s mission and strategic directions.

LAC shall consist of 7-10 volunteer members appointed to two-year terms by the University Librarian with the advice of the Executive Committee, pursuant to Bylaws of the Library (Article VII. Section 2. Ad-Hoc Committees and Task Forces). The Director of Library Assessment, Library Assessment Specialist, and User Experience and Web Strategies Coordinator will serve as ex officio members of the committee.

All full-time faculty (tenure system and specialized faculty) or staff (academic professionals, visiting academic professionals, civil service employees and library civil service professionals) are invited to volunteer to serve on the committee. Appointed LAC members who have served two consecutive terms must take a minimum one-year hiatus before volunteering to serve again.
