Simultaneous translation will be provided. \nRegistration: $125 (waived for presenters and CARL or CRL library directors — or their designate) \nAs libraries witness increasing demand for online resources and dwindling circulation of print holdings\, and at the same time confront budget and space pressures\, it can be challenging to remain committed to sustaining academic libraries’ print collections. Cooperative approaches to acquiring\, storing\, and managing the reduction of print collections are gaining traction as libraries seek to share the expense and responsibility with others. With the creation of such programs come new questions: What are libraries’ responsibilities towards safeguarding our domestic imprint\, and towards the global research content we have been collecting for decades? What is a reasonable framework for defining how many and which copies are retained? What shared print models are proving most effective? \n@Risk North\, inspired by the Center for Research Libraries’ 2016 original @Risk meeting held in Chicago in April 2016\, will give attendees an opportunity to discuss at a strategic level the state of shared print preservation programs in Canada and beyond\, in a setting that is meant to push these conversations forward and identify clear next steps. Speakers will describe and assess notable shared repositories in the US and elsewhere\, the status of existing Canadian shared repository initiatives\, and the possibilities emerging for a robust and rational shared print infrastructure in Canada. \nWe welcome attendees from both CARL and non-CARL institutions for this event\, which is intended for library directors as well as those with responsibility for print collections in their institutions. \nOrganizing Committee / Comité organisateur :\nGwen Bird (Simon Fraser University)\nLise Brin and Susan Haigh (CARL)\nMonica Fuijkschot and Alison Bullock (Library & Archives Canada)\nSteve Marks and Caitlin Tillman (University of Toronto)\nBernard F.

This workshop will provide hands-on experience with coding various forms of qualitative data including transcription texts\, photographic images\, and other visual artifacts. \nPurposeful Data Visualization With Tableau\nEbony Magnus – Southern Alberta Institute of Technology\nJeremy Buhler – University of British Columbia \nThis workshop will provide a practical introduction to creating visualizations with Tableau. Using standard library data sets participants will learn to create interactive visualizations and dashboards while considering the importance of purposeful communication of data. \n  \n1.5-hour workshops \nBeyond Numbers: Powerful Assessment Strategies in a Library Learning Commons (Worksheet)\nJulie Mitchell\, Nick Thornton\, Jeremiah Carag – University of British Columbia \nUsing examples from UBC’s library-based Learning Commons\, this workshop focuses on assessment of front line services and learning support programs\, and on organizing and communicating data. Participants will develop a framework for assessing their own learning support programs and learn how the model could apply to other library activities. \nObserve\, Reflect\, Learn! Developing a Peer Teaching Observation Program in your Library\nZoe Fisher – University of Colorado\, Denver \nThis workshop is ideal for those who want to develop or reinvigorate peer teaching observation programs. Participants will learn to develop procedures for peer teaching observations\, to create a rubric that identifies the qualities of excellent teaching\, and to assess the efficacy of a peer teaching observation program. \nUsing Design Thinking to Assess Space in a Library\nRhiannon Jones – University of Calgary \nDesign thinking helps us design the library around users rather than bending users to fit the library. This workshop will explore how academic libraries can use design thinking to market services\, reconfigure spaces and optimize student and faculty engagement. \nStatistics Demystified: Understanding When and Why to Use Statistics in Assessment Work (Worksheet)\nLise Doucette – Western University \nStatistics can be essential to appropriately describe and interpret data\, but it’s not always easy to know when and how to use them. This workshop is an opportunity to discuss and learn when and why statistics should be used and what statistics can tell you. \nBeyond Numbers: Tracking Academic Library Geospatial Interactions With Patrons and the Public and Their Subsequent Publications\nDaniel Brendle-Moczuk – University of Victoria \nMuch is written about providing GIS services in libraries\, but little on their assessment and evaluation over time. This workshop will focus on organizing and recording interactions with patrons in order to assess services and validate the effectiveness of providing GIS services in an academic library. \nUsing Service Blueprinting as a Tool for Service Assessment (Worksheet)\nKyla Everall\, Lisa Gayhart – University of Toronto \nService Design is a way to understand\, develop\, and assess services from a user perspective. This workshop will provide a hands-on introduction to the service blueprinting framework\, a tool used to identify service gaps and pain points in order to improve services by addressing the root issues. \nNo Brainer? Avoiding Evidence-Based Error Making in e-Resources Assessment\nKlara Maidenberg – University of Toronto\nDana Thomas – Ryerson University \nThings are not always what they seem! Walking participants through various indicators of value used to assess electronic resources\, this workshop emphasizes some notable limitations of these sources and suggests best practices for ensuring accurate interpretation of quantitative and qualitative indicators. \nCollection Development in the Digital Age\nVincent Larivière – Université de Montréal \nWith the advent of the digital age\, collection development shifted from individual journal selection to purchasing journal bundles\, in which publishers provided access to their entire collection. This came at a price: over the period of 1986 to 2011\, subscription costs increased fourfold in North American university libraries. This has left several libraries unable to afford these so-called “big deals”\, who have reverted to individual journal subscriptions. This workshop will present a methodology developed at the Université de Montréal to assess journal usage\, based on downloads\, citations\, and survey data. \n  \n\nCLAW Posters (Thursday\, October 26).\nAssessing​ ​business​ ​presentations​ ​using​ ​the​ ​ACRL​ ​framework\nKimberly Fama\, University of British Columbia \nChange​ ​is​ ​the​ ​only​ ​constant:​ ​Evaluating​ ​SFU​ ​Library’s​ ​Liaison​ ​Librarian​ ​Program\nAlison Moore\, Jenna Thomson\, and Julie Jones\, Simon Fraser University \nCreating​ ​an​ ​electronic​ ​resources​ ​valuation​ ​report​ ​for​ ​senior​ ​administrators​ ​at​ ​University​ ​of​ ​Windsor\nPascal Calarco\, University of Windsor \nFinding​ ​our​ ​equilibrium​ ​-​ ​Balancing​ ​the​ ​21st​ ​century​ ​library​ ​with​ ​enduring​ ​conceptions​ ​of​ ​library​ ​space\n(available to view for CLAW 2017 participants upon request)\nDiane Granfield and Dana Thomas\, Ryerson University \nGiving​ ​a​ ​Kahoot​ ​about​ ​assessment​ ​in​ ​the​ ​classroom\nJanice Kung and Jessica Thorlakson\, University of Alberta \nIt’s​ ​”AAAL”​ ​how​ ​you​ ​look​ ​at​ ​it:​ ​A​ ​longitudinal​ ​assessment​ ​of​ ​Alberta​ ​Association​ ​of​ ​Academic​ ​Libraries’​ ​data\nEbony Magnus\, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology \nMapping​ ​Information​ ​Literacy​ ​and​ ​Library​ ​Space​ ​Usage​ ​Using​ ​Interview​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Double\nKathleen Reed\, Cameron Hoffman-McGaw\, and Meg Ecclestone\, Vancouver Island University \nMISO​ ​-​ ​Is​ ​it​ ​for​ ​you?\nValerie Gibbons\, Lakehead University \nUncovering​ ​the​ ​evidence:​ ​Faculty​ ​perceptions​ ​of​ ​distance​ ​library​ ​services\nCarol Gordon and Jessica Mussell\, University of Victoria URL:https://www.carl-abrc.ca/event/2017-canadian-library-assessment-workshop/ LOCATION:Victoria\, British Columbia\, Canada CATEGORIES:CLAW,Workshops & Institutes ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/NewsFeaturedImage-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20170612T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20170615T235959 DTSTAMP:20260426T082856 CREATED:20250425T074820Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251015T145842Z UID:36849-1497225600-1497571199@www.carl-abrc.ca SUMMARY:2017 Librarians' Research Institute DESCRIPTION:Date: June 12 – 15\, 2017 \nLocation: London\, Ontario \nProgram Chair and Peer Mentor: Kristin Hoffmann (Associate Librarian\, Western University) \nPeer Mentors:\n\nSelinda Berg\, Head of Information Services\, University of Windsor\nTony Horava\, Associate University Librarian (Collections)\, University of Ottawa\nKevin Manuel\, Data Librarian\, Ryserson University\nSarah Polkinghorne\, Public Services Librarian\, University of Alberta\n\nApplication Process\n\nCall for Nominations: 2017 Librarians’ Research Institute Participants\nExtended deadline: January 16\, 2017 \nThe Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) is pleased to announce the 2017 Librarians’ Research Institute (LRI) will be hosted by Western University (June 12 – 15\, 2017).

It is no longer just assumed that library services are integral to fostering successful teaching and research – direct links need to be made. This need to demonstrate value is one reason that assessment librarian positions have risen in popularity over the past few years. This presentation will explore the increasing need for librarians to have research and assessment skills and why such skills are so crucial to demonstrate value to others and build knowledge within our profession. \nDenise Koufogiannakis\, MLIS\, PhD\nCollections & Acquisitions Coordinator\nUniversity of Alberta Libraries\nCara Commons\, Ted Rogers School of Management\n\n\n10:15 – 10:30\nBreak\n\n\n10:30 –12:30\nLinking Assessment Plan to the Library Strategic Plan (PDF)Struggling to see if your finely crafted strategic plan is measuring up? \nThis workshop will help you develop an assessment plan to find out.

To do so\, the four institutions called upon Vincent Larivière\, associate scientific director of the OST and assistant professor at the School of Library and Information Science of the Université de Montréal to advise them on the methodology to adopt and on performing the analysis. For a number of years\, Vincent Larivière has been studying the various impact factors and their relevance in determining the value of scholarly journals. The methodology he has worked on helps identify\, for each institution\, the core of electronic periodicals that are most valued by the respective communities. \nThe workshop will be divided into three parts: \n\nAssessing periodicals: the methodology\, advantages and limitations (PDF)\nWhether to remove from the large sets or not: the Université de Montréal’s experience with Wiley\, Science Direct\, Sage (PPT)\nThe issue of index usage statistics\, data compilation with Excel\, cancelled indexes     (PDF)\n\nFor more information: \nNew era for the collections at the Université de Montréal’s libraries (PDF) \nhttp://www.bib.umontreal.ca/collections-nouvelle-ere/ \nAssessing periodicals that are essential to teaching and research in the UQAM’s faculties and schools \nhttp://www.bibliotheques.uqam.ca/evaluation \nVincent Larivière\, professeur\nl’École de bibliothéconomie et des sciences de l’information\, l’Université de Montréal \nStéphanie Gagnon \nDirectrice des collections\nUniversité de Montréal \nArnald Desrochers\nBibliothécaire\, Service de l’acquisition et du développement des collections\nUniversité du Québec à Montréal \nCara Commons\, Ted Rogers School of Management\n\n\n15:15 – 15:30\nBreak\n\n\n15:30 – 17:00\nUnbundling the Big Deal (continues)\n\n\nEvening\nDinner on your own\n– Dine around sign-up sheets will be available\n\n\nFriday October 16\, 2015\n\n\n7:30 – 8:30\nBreakfast\n\n\n8:30am–10:00am\nData Driven Decision Making: Getting There(PPT) (PDF)We collect a lot of data at the library for various purposes (ARL\, CARL\, accreditation\, service level assessment\, usage statistics\, etc.) and from various sources; but is this data being used to help make decisions or simply to fill in surveys? What data is being collected automatically through our various systems? \nIn this workshop\, we will introduce a method to be more strategic in the collection\, analysis and use of data. Together\, we will work through a five part strategy for how to tackle data collection for each decision required of your assessment plan (which is linked to your library’s strategic plan). The goal is to learn to leverage the benefit that the data represents. \nFor best results\, come with an issue from your assessment plan that you need to make a decision about. \nLiz Hayden\, Assessment Librarian\nUniversity of Ottawa\nPam Jacobs\, Manager of Electronic Resources\, University of Guelph \nMattamy Athletic Centre\nAlumni Lounge \n\n\n\n10:00 – 10:15\nBreak\n\n\n10:15 – 11:30\nData Driven Decision Making (continues)\n\n\n11:30 – 13:00\nLunch \nPickle Barrel\n312 Yonge St\n(Yonge and Dundas)\n\n\n13:00 – 14:30\nConcurrent Sessions\n\n\n\nGuerrilla Assessment or Assessment for the Rest of Us. (PPT) (PDF) \n\nLibraries often need to make decisions on services and operations which can’t wait for\, and don’t need\, a research study.\nManagement decisions benefit from testing assumptions already held before moving ahead.\nDeciding whether or not to pursue a particular initiative benefits from user input to decide whether or not it’s worth doing.\nTweaking a new web tool with the people who are actually going to use it controls for unhappiness\, before the complaints come in.\n\nThis workshop will explore how to inform decision using quick guerrilla assessment such as whiteboard polls\, observation\, focus groups and user testing.We will also talk about how to bolster your decisions by repurposing existing library activity data in ways other than the purposes for which they are collected. We will discuss when guerrilla assessment is appropriate and what methods suit what purposes? We will talk about the surprising secondary benefits of guerrilla assessment. And we’ll discover how we can finally use the good information that is in all those library stats we collect year\, after year\, after year. And yes\, you will have to talk to some people! \nDebbie Green\, Reference Librarian\,\nUniversity of Toronto \nLisa Gayhart\, User Experience Librarian\nUniversity of Toronto \nStudent Learning Centre\nRoom 514 \nData Visualization (Recording) \nWant to step up your visualization game? Sick of staring at Excel charts? This workshop explores why visualizations matter in library assessment and how to tell a story with them. We’ll talk about what makes visualizations effective\, and introduce tools and resources to help you on your path to becoming the next Alberto Cairo (spoiler alert: he’s one of the resources!). The presenters will review some of their previous data viz work\, and explore why certain visualizations took off and others fell flat. Participants will engage in hands-on visualization activities; it’s recommended that those who are bringing a laptop install Tableau Public. \nJeremy Buhler\, Assessment Librarian\nUniversity of British Columbia \nKathleen Reed\nAssessment and Data Librarian\nVancouver Island University \nStudent Learning Centre\nRoom 508 \n \n\n\n14:30 – 14:45\nBreak\n\n\n14:45 – 15:45\nConcurrent sessions (continue)\n– Guerrilla Assessment\n– Data Vizualization\n\n\n15:45 – 16:00\nHeading up to the Balcony: Taking a Strategic and Enterprise-Wide Approach to Assessment PlanningVivian Lewis\, University Librarian\nMcMaster UniversityStudent Learning Centre URL:https://www.carl-abrc.ca/event/2015-canadian-library-assessment-workshop/ LOCATION:Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada CATEGORIES:CLAW,Workshops & Institutes ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/NewsFeaturedImage-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20150615T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20150618T235959 DTSTAMP:20260426T082856 CREATED:20250425T075050Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251015T145845Z UID:36850-1434326400-1434671999@www.carl-abrc.ca SUMMARY:2015 Librarians’ Research Institute DESCRIPTION:Date: June 15 – 18\, 2015 \nLocation: Vancouver\, British Columbia \nProgram Chair and Peer Mentor: Kristin Hoffmann (Head\, Research and Instructional Services\, Western University) \nPeer Mentors:\n\n\nLorie Kloda\, Assessment Librarian\, McGill University\nCory Laverty\, Teaching and Learning Specialist and Head\, Education Library\, Queen’s University\nKevin Manual\, Data Librarian\, Ryerson University\nSarah Polkinghorne\, Public Services Librarian and Subject Librarian\, University of Alberta URL:https://www.carl-abrc.ca/event/2015-librarians-research-institute/ LOCATION:Vancouver\, British Columbia\, Vancouver\, Canada CATEGORIES:LRI,Workshops & Institutes ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/NewsFeaturedImage-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20140616T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20140619T235959 DTSTAMP:20260426T082856 CREATED:20250425T075243Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251015T145844Z UID:36852-1402876800-1403222399@www.carl-abrc.ca SUMMARY:2014 Librarians’ Research Institute DESCRIPTION:Date: June 16 – 19\, 2014 \nLocation: Ottawa\, Ontario \nProgram co-Chair: Heidi LM Jacobs\nProgram co-Chair and Peer Mentor:  Selinda Berg (University of Windsor) \nPeer Mentors:\n\nCara Bradley (Distance Education & Outreach Librarian\, University of Regina)\nMarwin Britto (Associate Dean/Chief Operating Officer\, University of Saskatchewan)\nPascal Lupien (Research Enterprise and Scholarly Communication Librarian\, University of Guelph)\nTony Horava (Associate University Librarian – Collections\, University of Ottawa) URL:https://www.carl-abrc.ca/event/2014-librarians-research-institute/ LOCATION:Ottawa\, Ontario\, Canada CATEGORIES:LRI,Workshops & Institutes ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.carl-abrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/NewsFeaturedImage-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20131017T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20131018T235959 DTSTAMP:20260426T082856 CREATED:20250425T073234Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251015T143859Z UID:36842-1381968000-1382140799@www.carl-abrc.ca SUMMARY:2013 Canadian Library Assessment Workshop DESCRIPTION:Date: October 17 – 18\, 2013 \nLocation: Toronto\, Ontario \nThe Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) is committed to supporting and developing outcomes-based measures to assist libraries in moving beyond inputs and outputs in order to better demonstrate library impact on research\, teaching and learning.
