Summary:

"The Association of College and Research Libraries' (ACRL) Assessment in Action (AiA) was a multiyear professional development program, funded in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and in partnership with the Association for Institutional Research and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities, that ran from 2013 to 2016. A central part of the ACRL Value of Academic Libraries initiative, it engaged more than 200 higher education institutions, generating evidence of library impact, and advancing library leadership and evidence-based advocacy. This publication provides, in a single and comprehensive work, the story of AiA--the context surrounding its development, findings of the team-based assessment projects, insights about the program results, reflections about its impact, and recommendations for future directions"--Preface.
