Assessment is a powerful tool, but many of us are hesitant to pursue it because we don't know where to start, don't have time, or fear the results. The panelists discuss several innovative methods to assess instruction, outreach, and reference services, including designing pre- and post-tests to measure student learning from instruction, leveraging reference data collected with Google and LibAnswers as advocacy, and using online and in-house use statistics to inform community outreach.
