520 a| "Assessment librarians make decisions every day about what data to collect, how to collect it, who to involve in the assessment, how to engage library users, how to account for social impacts, how to communicate results, and how to align with parent-entity expectations. These decisions are not straight-forward and often involve dilemmas or tensions among competing stakeholders. Knowing our Value and our Values: Toward An Ethical Practice of Library Assessment is based around a central question: how can decision-making be clarified by applying relevant values? To answer that question, a lens of practical ethics is applied, drawing from the professional values of library and information science. The book involves original research that investigates 1) the values that are relevant to assessment decision-making, and 2) how practitioners can put those values into practice to make ethical decisions about assessment. This research informs the design of a practical framework--introduced in this new book--that library assessment practitioners can apply to better discern and resolve ethical dilemmas in their work. The book contributes to the conversation around professional values and ethics in LIS, and ultimately presents a new practical model for ethical decision-making in library assessment"--From publisher.;

Abstract	"Assessment librarians make decisions every day about what data to collect, how to collect it, who to involve in the assessment, how to engage library users, how to account for social impacts, how to communicate results, and how to align with parent-entity expectations. These decisions are not straight-forward and often involve dilemmas or tensions among competing stakeholders. Knowing our Value and our Values: Toward An Ethical Practice of Library Assessment is based around a central question: how can decision-making be clarified by applying relevant values? To answer that question, a lens of practical ethics is applied, drawing from the professional values of library and information science. The book involves original research that investigates 1) the values that are relevant to assessment decision-making, and 2) how practitioners can put those values into practice to make ethical decisions about assessment. This research informs the design of a practical framework--introduced in this new book--that library assessment practitioners can apply to better discern and resolve ethical dilemmas in their work.
