The Daniel J. Kaufman Library & Learning Center engages in ongoing assessment to ensure its spaces, services, and resources effectively support student learning and institutional priorities. Library faculty and staff work together to collect and analyze data on space usage and interactions at the Information Desk. Additionally, student learning outcomes are being used to document and evaluate the impact of library instruction. These complementary assessment efforts provide a more comprehensive understanding of how students engage with library resources, services, and staff, and help inform data-driven decisions to improve the overall user experience.
