The third Library Assessment Conference offered in North America brought together more than 460 participants from 46 US states, 8 Canadian provinces, and 12 countries outside North America. The attendees—representing libraries, associations, library systems, and vendors—enjoyed a robust program offering presentations from more than 60 papers, 80 posters, and two full-day and four half-day workshops. The proceedings include both contributed papers as well as the keynote papers by:

Fred Heath (University of Texas)

The conference co-chairs, Steve Hiller (University of Washington), Martha Kyrillidou (ARL), and Jim Self (University of Virginia) would like to thank the conference committee members and all of the participants for their efforts in furthering effective, sustainable, and practical library assessment.
