Assessment in Action: A Community of Practice

Abstract

Assessment is essential for demonstrating success and creating a firm foundation on which to advocate for your library. A team of Kapiʻolani Community College librarians and teaching faculty participated in the first cohort of the Association of College and Research Libraries’ “Assessment in Action (AiA): Academic Libraries and Student Success.” The AiA program’s community of practice consisted of 75 academic libraries nationwide who undertook assessment projects at their own campuses. The KapCC team assessed the impact of information literacy instruction for Hawaiian Studies students. Project team leader Annie Thomas will share her AiA experiences and share assessment projects from other institutions.
