Measuring Progress
Services provision, collections management and study space design are all library activities that are data-informed. The library employs a variety of assessment methods, qualitative and quantitative, using metrics to make modifications to resources or services to ensure that they are continuously responsive to evolving community needs and strategic imperatives.
The 2023 library assessment mapping project will be communicated to stakeholders across Sheridan to ensure transparency of data collection and to encourage feedback on library activities.
