LLAMA webinar helps you demonstrate the value of your academic library

LLAMA webinar helps you demonstrate the value of your academic library

Academic libraries are constantly striving to demonstrate their value to the campus community and administrators. While academic programs undergo regular review to assess and align the curriculum with current trends, libraries are rarely given that opportunity. The Library Leadership and Management Association (LLAMA) will present “Proving your library’s value: how to conduct a review that aligns with your academic programs,” on Wednesday, March 6, at 1:30-3:00 p.m. CT.

This webinar will discuss how to better demonstrate your value to campus administrators by examining the benefits and opportunities gleaned from an assessment conducted by the library at Marymount University. This periodic review was a holistic examination of services and staffing levels that included thorough benchmarking and a visit from an external reviewer.
