LibValue: Assessing the Value of E-books to Academic Libraries and Users
Channel: Association of Research Libraries
Date: 2013-04-22

This webcast, recorded April 18, 2013, describes research conducted at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on how libraries and library users value e-books. Presenters include Paula Kaufman, Dean of Libraries and University Librarian; Tina Chrzastowski, Chemistry Librarian and Professor of Library Administration; and Lynn Wiley, Head of Acquisitions and Associate Professor.

The LibValue project (http://libvalue.cci.utk.edu/) is a three-year study funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services to define and measure ways in which libraries create value through teaching and learning, research, and social, professional, and public engagement. LibValue is a collaboration among the University of Tennessee, Knoxville; the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Libraries; and the Association of Research Libraries, with partners at Syracuse University and Bryant University.
