- Organizational Learning for Library Enhancements: A Collaborative, Research-Driven Analysis of Academic Department Needs Loo, Jeffery L. Dupuis, Elizabeth A. Departments Needs Assessment Qualitative Research Library Research Library Development Evaluation Methods Best Practices Data Analysis Feedback (Response) Research Administration Program Descriptions Research Design Cooperative Planning Cooperative Programs Academic Libraries Content Analysis This article presents a qualitative evaluation methodology of academic departments for library organizational learning and library enhancement planning. This evaluation used campus units' academic program review reports as a data source and employed collaborative content analysis by library liaisons to extract departmental strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats, and priorities. We illustrate how a systematic review of internal planning documents facilitates the understanding of programmatic goals, identification of cross-unit synergies, and prioritization of library services. Our evaluation used a mix of technological, methodological, and analytical activities suitable for implementation in other academic library settings.
