Abstract Common in the language and actions of libraries is the desire to develop and foster a culture of assessment and evaluation. However, most employees in a library have had limited or no experience in designing, conducting, analyzing, and disseminating library assessments. Those who do have experience tend to draw from their personal discipline background that emphasizes one type of method over another. Typically, when these assessments happen, the efforts are one-off or siloed assessments. To create and foster a culture of assessment a framework is needed to guide and support all library assessments. A library assessment framework helps library employees see where their assessment fits into the overall library strategic planning and improvement processes. It informs them regarding what assessment services are available for supporting their efforts. In short, a library assessment framework helps all library employees contribute to the culture of assessment. This article describes the tools used to develop a library-wide assessment framework, the components of an assessment framework, and how the assessments tie into library and university aims and goals. Example templates are provided in Appendices.

图书馆评估框架的开发、设计和实施

摘要 图书馆语言和行动的共同点是希望发展和培养评估和评价文化。然而，图书馆的大多数员工在设计、实施、分析和传播图书馆评估方面的经验有限或没有经验。那些确实有经验的人往往会从他们个人的学科背景中汲取经验，强调一种方法而不是另一种方法。通常，当这些评估发生时，所做的努力是一次性或孤立的评估。为了创建和培养评估文化，需要一个框架来指导和支持所有图书馆评估。图书馆评估框架可帮助图书馆员工了解他们的评估在哪些方面适合整个图书馆战略规划和改进流程。它告知他们可以使用哪些评估服务来支持他们的工作。简而言之，图书馆评估框架有助于所有图书馆员工为评估文化做出贡献。本文描述了用于开发图书馆范围评估框架的工具、评估框架的组成部分以及评估如何与图书馆和大学的目标和目标联系起来。附录中提供了示例模板。
