The Association of College Research Libraries was invited by the New Leadership Alliance for Student Learning and Accountability to author an article for their December e-newsletter. The article “Exploring the Contributions of the Academic Library to Student Learning” — written by Joyce L. Ogburn, president of ACRL, dean, J. Willard Marriott Library and university librarian, University of Utah and Kara J. Malenfant, ACRL’s scholarly communications and government relations specialist — highlights ACRL’s initiatives in this area.
The New Leadership Alliance for Student Learning and Accountability, an advocacy-focused organization, leads and supports voluntary and cooperative efforts to move the higher education community towards gathering, reporting on, and using evidence to improve student learning in American undergraduate education. Nearly 100 colleges and universities of all types are members.
