This report details the extensive
collection of assessment methods and tools used by the campus teams during the
three-year AiA program, which point to multiple types of library factors and their
potential impacts on students’ academic outcomes. Higher education institutions
are encouraged to replicate or adapt these approaches to expand understanding
of student learning and to assess library contributions to academic outcomes at
their institutions. Findings from this report also provide a compelling assessment that tell a
strong story about the multiple ways that academic libraries are contributing
to student learning and success. While each institutional context is unique and
the AiA project findings about library impact are not generalizable to all
academic settings, the demonstrations of positive connections between the library
and aspects of student learning and success in five areas are particularly
noteworthy.
