ON DEMAND: LibValue Webcast on Success in Teaching & Research: Video Online

The video of the webcast “LibValue: Success in Teaching & Research” presented on June 13 is now available on ARL's YouTube channel. This webcast describes research examining faculty members' views on the value of scholarly collections in academic libraries. The presenters are Carol Tenopir, professor in the School of Information Sciences and director of the Center for Information and Communication Studies at the University of Tennessee, and Rachel Fleming-May, assistant professor in the School of Information Sciences at the University of Tennessee. Webcast slides (PDF) are also available for download. 

The LibValue project is a three-year study funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services to define and measure ways in which libraries create value through teaching and learning; research; and social, professional, and public engagement. LibValue is a collaboration among the University of Tennessee, Knoxville; the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Libraries; and ARL, with partners at Syracuse University and Bryant University. This is the fifth in a series of six free webcasts to be held in 2013. Register for the LibValue webcast series.
