DIGITAL COLLECTIONS ASSESSMENT
5. Does your library have an assessment plan for locally curated digital collections? N=70
There is an overarching assessment plan that covers these collections 6 9%
There is an assessment plan specifically for these collections 6 9%
There is no assessment plan that covers these collections 58 83%
Comments N=19
Overarching plan N=2
Ongoing assessment through user input, web statistics, feedback from collaborators, etc.
The existing assessment plans focus on individual collections/projects, and so do not fully support the need for ongoing
programmatic assessment. Programmatic assessment is done as part of the larger programs, but more support for
assessment is needed and is being developed as part of the strategic directions process started in 2014.
Specific plan N=5
Depends on the collection.
