Please join us at the 2022 virtual Library Assessment Conference November 1–3! Paper, poster, assessment accelerator, and challenge talk proposals were accepted through April 29.
Thank you to everyone who attended the six virtual sessions between October 29, 2020 and March 17, 2021. Recordings, slides, and papers are available on the past conferences page.
Posters
The 2020 posters are now online. The conference did not hold a virtual poster session, but we encourage you to engage with poster authors directly and to stay in touch with the community and conference via the ARL-Assess email group and by using #LAC20 on Twitter.
Detailed Schedule
Watch the recorded presentations and see slides from all six virtual sessions.
Presenters
Thank you to all of our 2020 presenters! More information on presentation and paper files is on the presenters page. Paper proceedings are available on the past conferences page.
Workshops
The conference will not offer workshops this year, due to the difficulty of running interactive, participatory workshops in an online setting, and with the recognition that it is likely that many potential attendees are already experiencing fatigue from extended online work amidst challenging work situations.
To acknowledge the accepted workshops and the significant work authors put into their proposals, we are highlighting their work and encourage them to offer these programs in other venues.
Career Awards
These awards recognize individuals who have made substantial contributions to effective, sustainable, and practical library assessment as evidenced through presentations, publications, methods, service, advocacy, and other work. Career Awards will resume in 2022.
Travel Awards
Travel Awards are offered to students and early-career professionals from historically underrepresented racial and ethnic groups who have demonstrated a strong interest in assessment and have the potential to contribute to the profession by deploying and developing innovative assessment and evaluation methods and strategies.
