Publisher Description: Assessment as Information Practice provides information about a range of collection and service-based assessment approaches that can be applied in different contexts to benefit institutions and the users they serve by enhancing quality, efficiency and effectiveness. With contributions from practitioners and researchers in Australia, New Zealand, Thailand and the United States, the chapters discuss practical and theoretical aspects of assessment in collecting institutions. Each chapter focuses on specific assessment approaches or contexts, while providing guidance on method and use. The chapters can be read alone, or as a series to gain an appreciation of assessment approaches, including: assessment-oriented research; storytelling; design thinking; data visualisation; mixed methods assessment for digital resources; data for institutional repository assessment; bibliometric methods; and impact assessment. Assessment as Information Practice serves as a resource for practitioners involved in assessment activities. Detailing the processes and considerations that will contribute to more effective and sustainable assessment programs, the book is also relevant to faculty, researchers and students working in the information sector. |
