These sessions are community gatherings to discuss how you best deliver quality services in your library, share your LibQUAL results, learn from each other, and discuss the future of library assessment efforts. These webinars are available to those libraries that have utilized the LibQUAL survey and have data to share and discuss them with each other! The community forums are not endorsed by the Association of Research Libraries in any shape or form.
For those who are not familiar with LibQUAL antecedents and would like to learn more, please register for the following information session:

I am organizing these events in my capacity as one of the original developers and founders of the LibQUAL service at the Association of Research Libraries. LibQUAL was originally developed with the support of a grant from the Department of Education, Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education, awarded to ARL and Texas A&M University. There were four co-Principal Investigators on the grant, Colleen Cook and Fred Heath from Texas A&M, and Martha Kyrillidou (myself), and Duane Webster (ARL Emeritus Executive Director) from ARL. As someone who has worked to establish this service on a worldwide basis, I plan to continue to support your assessment efforts including LibQUAL implementations and continue to nurture effective, sustainable, and practical library assessment approaches!
Looking forward to seeing you virtually!
