This article shares brief examples of effective and challenging cross-campus collaborative assessment projects and the five best practices the authors developed through the year-long experience of examining student success in three different academic library environments. Introduction Members of the first cohort (2014) of the Association of College and Research Libraries’ (ACRL) Assessment in Action (AiA) learning community found that their experiences significantly influenced their library and university assessment initiatives. By participating in a structured group assessment process, each team leader learned best practices and practical lessons for coordinating a large-scale assessment project with non-library campus collaborators.

Design/methodology/approach ‐ A survey was used to learn whether patrons find it easy to use a QR code, to gather patrons' opinions about several possible library uses for QR codes, and to solicit additional ideas for using QR codes in libraries. A small-scale pilot project was implemented to learn whether the Libraries' patrons would make use of QR codes. To augment the data gained from the first two studies, five focus groups were facilitated. Findings ‐ The authors found that patrons generally find QR codes easy to use and would welcome a variety of library services on their mobile devices. Research limitations/implications ‐ Further studies on a variety of mobile devices would be a useful way to gain more insight into how libraries can take advantage of mobile communication to provide services to patrons. Originality/value ‐ This paper would appeal to academic libraries considering implementing QR codes projects as there are only a very limited number of studies on library users' preferences of QR codes.

We will begin by addressing why we began offering IM reference service (in October 2006) and added text messaging reference service (in December 2007). During this introduction we will contend that our reasons are applicable to all libraries and explain why we believe libraries that have not yet begun offering IM reference should strongly consider doing so.

Previously, library users were only able to search a library card catalog by an author's name, a small set of subject headings, or a title. Today's systems allow users new opportunities for finding the information they seek, through means including keyword searching, combining search results sets, setting a variety of limits, conducting faceted searches, and sorting ...
