The hour-long open forum will center on two topics:
-
Assessment and ImpactLet’s discuss assessment: what are you and your department doing to track the impact of your teaching, special events, outreach, workshops, and more? Have you altered your assessment methods lately? Are you tracking anything new? Are there any impacts you’re having trouble capturing/demonstrating?
-
Mental Health and the World StageNext, let’s talk about ways that we as academic librarians are keeping our heads above water during this complex time in history. Do you have any tips for keeping an even keel, staying true to your moral center, and staying on task?
The forum will not be recorded, to allow participants to speak freely.
