This presentation will highlight promising practices for library assessment professionals who need fresh ideas for inspiring a library-wide culture of assessment. The presenters will share their diverse strategies for overcoming some common stumbling blocks, including:

• Turning assessment back into action and holding colleagues accountable
• Building an assessment team, even if you're a department of one
• Managing usability studies and the vast quantities of resulting qualitative data
• Inspiring others with pivot tables and other time-saving tools
• Asking challenging questions without damaging relationships

Presenters will lead an open and interactive discussion and will invite attendees to share their own ideas and recommendations for pushing through each of these challenges.
