Mission
The Collection Assessment Department supports the UNT Libraries by providing the knowledge needed for making informed and evidence-based decisions at all stages of the collection life-cycle.
Vision
The UNT Libraries’ scholarly resources effectively and efficiently meet the research and curricular needs of faculty and students and help the university fulfill its vision of being a global leader in innovation and scholarly activity.
The profession of library and information science is enhanced through our creation of replicable tools and methods for collection assessment that provide insightful and useful knowledge for making decisions at all stages of the collection life-cycle.
What we do
- Collaborate with the Collection Management Division, liaison librarians, other library divisions, other university divisions, and university and library administration on making decisions about our collections at all stages of the collection life-cycle.
- Use the Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom (Shared Understanding) value chain as a model for our success.
- Develop new ways of being good stewards of library collections.
