Library Assessment Review Committee
The Library Assessment Review Committee (LARC) reviews and analyzes library related statistics, recommends areas of
library activities needing additional assessment, and develops strategies for gathering needed data. Irma Dillon, Manager of
MIS, chairs LARC, and she is assisted by a Graduate Assistant. More specifically, LARC is charged to do the following
things:
- Define the extent of performance assessment needs based upon a review of the libraries resources, services, activities,
and functions.
- Determine applicable processes to be used for measurement.
- Prioritize measurement activities based upon resources and mission.
- Recommend an assessment program to support planning, decision-making, and budget justifications.
- Recommend the development of benchmarks for evaluation.
- Recommend a vehicle for periodic reassessment and planning on a schedule that meets the MIS manager's work cycle.
LARC meets from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month.
