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.
