Assessment in Library Science

The way academic institutions are organized and managed depends on the standards set by accrediting agencies and the decisions made by a board. As part of an academic institution, academic libraries are impacted by these standards and decisions. 

Institutional Governance in Higher Education

Libraries and Librarians have a task of providing both information, literacy, and various other services. They may at times even be viewed as social workers. The reason this view occurs is that it is the Library and Librarian's job to make sure that they collaborate with social services. Why social services? Because individuals may come to the library seeking social services in the area such as healthcare, shelter, food, and jobs. 

The Library's Role in Connecting Individuals With Social Services.

The intentional, systematic accumulation of books and other library resources in academic libraries.  Consistent evaluation of consumer interests, current resources, selection policies, coordination, storage, and sharing.
