This session explores how to interpret COUNTER statistics and transform usage data into persuasive stories for academic libraries. Participants will learn to analyze COUNTER reports, obtain meaningful insights, and communicate the value and impact of library resources via data-informed storytelling. The program highlights two case studies that demonstrate how to translate numbers into reports that engage stakeholders and support evidence-based decision-making.

Much of the conversation around libraries and censorship has centered around book bans and resource access, but censorship can also deeply affect how we approach our instruction. In this guided conversation, we will critically reflect on how censorship, from both internal and external influences, can affect our teaching practices as we build on our annual theme "Trust Us:" The Role of Library Instruction in Transforming Landscapes. 

Join the CARLI Instruction Committee on March 19th, from 12 p.m. - 1 p.m. CT as we reflect on this topic by exploring the following questions: 

  1. Where does censorship show up in our daily workflows without anyone saying the word?
  2. How can we use documentation and data to our advantage when we encounter censorship challenges?  
  3. When have you quietly edited an example or resource list to “avoid drama”? What did that cost?
  4. When/where/how are students censoring themselves?
  5. Not enough time in a one shot – lack of context – is this censorship?
  6. What are some resources and/or practices you have in your tool kit to navigate censorship in your instruction?

Library instructors often rely on multiple-choice questions due to course access, grading, and time constraints, but these questions aren’t limited to assessing knowledge and comprehension. This webinar will show how instruction librarians can design assessments that foster higher-order thinking (yes, even with multiple choice questions) and align with meaningful learning objectives. Using Bloom’s Taxonomy, Backward Design, and real instruction examples, we’ll explore strategies for crafting application-level and above questions, connecting them to instructional content, and creating engaging, application-based activities.

Participants will leave with practical tools to up their assessment game moving beyond memorization to building student confidence. This webinar is applicable to any subject area or student level.
