Call for panelists - The Measurement, Assessment, and Evaluation Section (MAES) of LLAMA

The Measurement, Assessment, and Evaluation Section (MAES) of LLAMA is planning to host a panel program for ALA 2010 Conference in Washington DC, which will showcase how different libraries have used data to challenge library assumptions and long-held beliefs.

The program title is "Myth Busting: Using Data to Challenge Your Assumptions."

We want to include all types of libraries.

If you will be at ALA in 2010 and are interested in being on our program panel, please email Jan Sung (jansung@hawaii.edu) or Scott Britton (brittons@miami.edu) with a brief description of the data you have and how you found it "myth busting".
