This year, ZSR will develop and implement an action learning project called Assessment in Action: Academic Libraries and Student Success. First, recruited student participants will identify which measures of success are important at all points in their academic careers. Then the study will determine whether the programs, services and study spaces at ZSR help to achieve these objectives. The principal investigator of this 15-month study is Mary Beth Lock, Director of Access Services at ZSR. The project team also includes Ryan Shirey (Writing Center), Meghan Webb (ZSR Reference Coordinator), John Champlin (Professional Development Center) and a representative from The Bridge. This study is part of the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) Value of Academic Libraries initiative. Assessment in Action is a grant program funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
