The institution has a planning process that involves users, library and information resource staff, faculty, and administrators.

Library & Media Services work effectively with Computing and Communications and with Academic Computing to share planning, facilities, services and instruction. See
5.E.3 The institution regularly and systematically evaluates the quality, adequacy, and utilization of its library and information resources and services, including those provided through cooperative arrangements, and at all locations where courses, programs, or degrees are offered. The institution uses the results of the evaluations to improve the effectiveness of these resources.
Institutional Research includes LIR evaluation routinely in surveys of end-of-program reviews, and alumni and student surveys. See This data serves as a check for on-the-ground assessment. See IR focused on ITL during the first part of the self-study period due to a state mandate. See Computing and Communications contracted for a consultant's review. See Narrative self and peer evaluation of library faculty provide a forum for ongoing analysis within the larger culture of constant evaluation and assessment. See
