The authors identify the significant changes that these stakeholders call for--information that academic librarians and anyone following outcomes assessment need to be aware of--and interpret the discussions to identify implications for libraries. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBuilding upon the foundation of knowledge presented in the previous two Libraries Unlimited \u003ci\u003eOutcomes Assessment in Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e titles, this book provides readers with up-to-date coverage of topics such as the emerging metrics used to define student and institutional success; the increased importance of accountability and the need to compare and assess the performance of programs and institutions rather than individual courses; and the shift in prioritizing student outcomes over student learning outcomes. The authors also spotlight the critical need for libraries to fit their role within the national discussion and suggest ways in which library managers and directors can play a role in redirecting the discussion to their benefit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Hernon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1610692748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781610692748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Libraries Unlimited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/09\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Peter Hernon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088642486527,"sku":"9781610692748","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_74ee6c7a-f5a6-4834-b67e-b29b880c16f8.jpg?v=1769105876","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/higher-education-outcomes-assessment-for-peter-hernon-9781610692748","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
