From Theory to Practice: A New Teacher-Librarian Tackles Library Assessment
The author posits that with an inundation of assessments, or current learning era will be known as "The Age of Assessment and Accountability." Further,the author argues that school libraries nationwide are particularly prey to this cycle. The article follows a new teacher-librarian in California as she performs a years worth of evaluations through daily library statistics, community analyses, collection analysis,and student/faculty surveys.The author/librarian concludes that by gathering all this data, she will be able to create an even better collection and library program that meets the needs of her students & faculty.This applies to me as a librarian as I do gather some of this data but would like to add community analyses and student/faculty surveys.
Where you Go, And What You Show
In this article, the authors discuss how librarians collect information on our value to students informally each day, but add that our evidence must be in the form of data.The authors discuss a tool titled EBLIP, or Evidence Based Library and Information Practice, which "Provides a practical means for improving programming
and service, generates evidence relating the school library program to student learning, positions the librarian and the library program as essential to development of students, assists in the structured growth of the library program, justifies value of the library program, showcases the evidence-base of school librarianship, [and] creates accountability." This is useful to me as a librarian as it reiterates the need to collect data but also reminds me that I am collecting some data simply by doing my job well.
Documenting the School Library Journey in 2020
The author of this article is a school librarian documenting how COVID-19 impacted her library program in the 2020-2021 school year. Rather than showcase library usage primarily through circulation data, the author decides to include statistics on support tasks, read alouds, book requests/deliveries, curriculum activities, and anti-oppression work. Although I do keep more than simply circulation statistics for data collection, this article is useful to me as a librarian as it shows even more ways to track the library program's value to the school, district, and community.
