CHICAGO —The terms assessment and evaluation are sometimes used interchangeably, but they have distinct meanings and purposes. The Library Leadership and Management Association’s Measurement, Assessment and Evaluation Section (LLAMA-MAES) will present “What is Assessment?” from 1:30 - 3 p.m. CT, on Wednesday, Oct. 1.

This webinar will present a panel of assessment experts responding to questions crafted to distinguish how assessment differs from evaluation. The webinar is an extension of research conducted by Consuello Askew and Eileen Theodore-Shusta appearing in Library Leadership & Management (November 2013) concerning how librarians learn assessment.

By the end of this webinar participants will:

• differentiate/distinguish between the terms assessment and evaluation;
• understand how assessment can be applied in libraries beyond Information Literacy;
• distinguish when assessment or evaluation is needed.

Presenters:

Steve Hiller, director of assessment, University of Washington Library; and Dr. Danuta Nitecki, dean of libraries, Drexel University.

LLAMA member: $49

Non-LLAMA member $59
