Workshop on using data for benchmarking

This workshop for AMICAL Library Directors is a hands-on tutorial to learn about using data to benchmark with peer institutions. Library leaders can use benchmarking with peers as a tool to improve and enhance library efficiency and effectiveness. The focus will be on using data from the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Academic Library Trends and Statistics to identify peer institutions and to compare relative strengths and weaknesses. Participants are encouraged to bring relevant data for comparison purposes.
