While I can see definite benefits to working with in-house faculty on that kind of project - tightens the binds between faculty and library, which is always important - it might also be hard to get faculty to donate time. That's the benefit of paying an outsider - you get their undivided attention. In CSULB’s case, they used an outside statistician that they paid out of grant funds.

Wed, 21 Apr 2010 01:37:40 +0000 http://thepinakes.com/?p=635#comment-928 Thanks so much for this wrap-up. It is very useful for someone like me who couldn't go to the conference but wanted to. I would add to your take-home lessons the importance of collaboration with those outside the library - for example, I don't know if CSULB is working with an on-campus statistics expert but those who are interested in doing similar projects could work with a social sciences researcher on the faculty at their campuses for statistics expertise. And then GGU's collaboration with the campus assessment coordinator is another good example. These sound like interesting sessions! I'm eagerly awaiting part two. Thanks so much for this wrap-up.
