Learning outcomes:
An exploration of current and future trends in library assessment, this session brings together Canadian academic library perspectives to examine our individual and collective capacity to succeed in evaluating and communicating library impact. Panelists will provide an update on several projects with national and international impact, including managing and re-imagining our core library statistics program; returning to user satisfaction surveys; and exploring innovative ways for measuring and describing impact.

Key topics:
Library assessment, trends, capacity, professional development.

Plan for attendee engagement:
Audience members will have the chance to react to and ask questions about project updates. Online polling tools will be used throughout the discussion portion to gather audience input on challenges and opportunities for building library capacity in their own institutions. Time will be reserved for audience reactions to discussions and for them to pose their own questions to panelists.
