Academic Library Impact: Improving Practice and Essential Areas to Research

Read the Agenda drafts:

November 2016
January 2017

Supplemental Materials:

Now more than ever, libraries in higher education must demonstrate their value. The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) has been at the forefront of supporting libraries as they demonstrate this value and recognizes that more research is needed to address an area critical to the higher education sector - institutional priorities for student learning and success. OCLC was selected to support this ongoing work after an open and competitive request for proposals issued by ACRL to investigate this area. The major outcomes of the project will aid librarians in communicating their value by focusing on both the current and potential future contributions of the library to student learning and success, with the overarching goals to:

depict current library value studies,
anticipate future work, research questions, and contributions to student learning and success, and
help academic librarians to effectively communicate their value with others in higher education.

Outcomes

Deliverables from the project include:

A report that:

identifies specific themes and trends related to the current state of library value studies and connects these themes and trends to student learning and success;
compiles a research agenda consisting of approximately 10 to 15 future-oriented, key, outstanding research questions that the literature and interview data suggest are essential for academic libraries to explore; and
defines the possible parameters for each question and explains related scholarly work in a way that is accessible to newer practitioner-scholars so they can articulate their research questions, design studies, and communicate results.

An interactive visualization dashboard that:

Allows researchers, practitioners, and students to search through the more than 500 documents analyzed in the report for attributes of interest related to communicating the impact of library collections, services, and spaces on student learning and success. Users can compile and share reference lists for further study and to aid their institutions’ efforts to communicate their own impact on learning and success.
Helps librarians and researchers visually explore the literature and other data in the form of charts and graphs, and helps them to communicate their value to constituencies by sharing these charts and graphs with stakeholders. Users can also import and visualize their own data related to their institutions’ work and its impact on student learning and success.
