We are still evaluating options for distributing collection metrics and assessment tasks, but the more
complex data analysis projects will likely fall to the library’s Assessment &Communications unit,
whose staff includes two Research and Assessment Analysts and one Research and Assessment
Librarian. This unit already supports some aspects of collection assessment. It is unclear what the
additional time commitment will need to be to meet emerging needs (which have become particularly
palpable with the recent retirement of the library’s dedicated Collections Analyst).
This position [Collections] spends a full 80% on collection assessment of which about half is related to
various levels of analysis.
One staff member is always a student employee.
