LOEX 2026

Interested in developing a student learning assessment program at your institution and don't know where to start? In this session, librarians from two vastly different universities will discuss how they have implemented programmatic student learning assessment plans for their unique library systems. However, creating and sustaining student learning assessment programmatic plans is not a small feat; assessment anxiety amongst librarians continues to prevail. This session explores the process, techniques, and impact from developing an individualized, supportive culture of assessment where library instructors gradually demonstrate higher level skills as they progress in each student learning assessment plan.

Participants will be able to:
1. Describe the collaborative process of creating and revising student learning assessment plans.
2. Identify ways to navigate through the barriers of assessment efforts.
3. Create a framework for a student learning assessment plan for their own institutional context.
