Gumberg Library’s David Nolfi, Tracie Ballock, and Carmel Yurochko presented a poster at the Association of Research Libraries’ biennial Library Assessment Conference in Baltimore, Maryland on October 25. The conference included librarians, information professionals, and researchers from universities in North America, Europe, and Australia. Conference judges selected their poster, “When Numbers Don’t Tell the Whole Story: Using Meta-Analysis to Create an Effective, Sustainable Electronic Resource Assessment Process” as one of twelve finalists among the 82 posters submitted. All conference participants were then invited to vote for best poster among the twelve finalists. The following day, the conference organizers announced the Duquesne poster had been voted the overall best poster.
Gumberg Library also had a second poster accepted at the conference. Nolfi and Ballock partnered with Allison Brungard and Bridget Euliano to present “Qualitative Analysis on a Shoestring: Developing a Cost Effective Strategy to Analyze LibQUAL+ Comments.” This poster highlighted the methodology used to analyze student, faculty, and staff comments from Gumberg Library’s 2009 LibQUAL+ survey.
