Yesterday’s staff carnival was a fun affair – lots of opportunity to meet new colleagues and learn about all the different areas of the libraries and press. Thank you Continuing Education Committee!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Library’s Assessment Committee hosted a table, nicely appointed with displays of Association of Research Library reports ( to which we contribute), examples of data visualizations, and this blog site featured live on a laptop. We had the opportunity to introduce many staff members, and not just new ones, to the work we do.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

We sponsored a numbers quiz as well. You can take in now (see below), but you won’t get a “prize” of peanut M&M cleverly dispensed from a gum ball “machine.” As typical of our collaborative efforts, the dispenser was on loan from Cynthia Schwarz and crafted by her grandfather! To tell the truth, it was the highlight of the table.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The quiz seemed like a fun way of challenging and impressing staff with the levels of activity here at the library, from the numbers of downloaded e-journal articles to the reach of our programs into the university and community.<\/p>\n

After the event, I thought that I might have used this “assessment” in a different way. I might have tallied the results and presented them here. Just as a way of demonstrating a kind of assessment in a fun way.<\/p>\n

So this time around we’ll do the quiz online and save the answers, conducting a brief assessment of how well staff have memorized these numbers. Just kidding, but do <\/span><\/p>\n

And let us know if these numbers surprise you.<\/p>\n
