Highlights
Karen Brown and a host of others created Shaping the Campus Conversation on Student Learning and Experience: Activating the Results of Assessment in Action with two aims: First they encourage libraries to partner with other departments to assess their library's services in a way that aligns institutional goals
Shaping the Campus Conversation "provides, in a single and comprehensive work, the story of AiA [Assessment in Action] -- the context surrounding its development, findings of team-based assessment projects, insights about the program results, reflection about its impact, and recommendation for future directions," (Brown et al, 2018, p.vii) leaving a record that is immune to link rot, and blazing a paper trail that library school students can follow
