12 Association of Research Libraries www.libqual.org Collective consciousness needs assessment The emerging library user sees the need for a different kind of library – a library that serves as a source of information ready to be accessed any time, from anywhere, using modern technologies. Thompson, Kyrillidou & Cook, “Library Users’ Service Desires” Library Quarterly (2008) Assessment is now a critical skill for librarians. Kyrillidou & Cook, “The evolution of measurement and evaluation of libraries: a perspective from the Association of Research Libraries” Library Trends (2008)

13 Association of Research Libraries www.libqual.org Assessment frameworks Assessment … frameworks as they will be refined over the years to come are forming the basis of guiding our understanding of libraries in an environment where: books are morphed into bytes, graphic materials are morphed into kilobytes, audio files are morphed into megabytes, video files are morphed into petabytes, where..users …are transformed into avatars existing in another reality, a second life.
