Abstract

The practice of assessment is not a new phenomenon. Libraries have always evaluated their services to improve them or to develop new services. In the last decade, assessment librarianship has evolved as a specialty that builds on this practice, using an ever expending set of methodologies and tools. This summary provides examples of some assessment projects and programs carried out at the UBC Library from 2007 to 2011.
