Assessing Research Performance and Value
Pundits say that the future lies in the “information economy,” and university faculty, administrators, librarians, researchers, and publishers all engage in “information valuation.” What is the value of information resources to a researcher, and how is this different from the way librarians and administrators determine the value of those resources? How do publishers make decisions on what to publish and in what formats? From the administrator’s perspective, what is the return on investment in information resources?
The UCLA Library invites faculty and administrators to attend a colloquium and discussion on this topic on May 5th, 2008, in the UCLA Faculty Center. Advance registration is required. View the Assessing Research Performance and Value web page to see a list of speakers and to register for the event.
