- Abstract
- Reflecting on their time at university through an affinity survey, many alumni from Monash University reported affinity with their university library. Their Library! What makes that connection so strong? Aligning with institutional priorities and higher education standards, academic librarians have long partnered with faculties and divisions, conferred with research centres and liaised with student groups to augment university outcomes. However, tools for crystallising Library value are less advanced. In this paper, a new framework, Principles and Guidelines for Australian higher education libraries (2016), is introduced. Its purpose is to describe and assess the contribution of libraries to academic and research endeavour. It articulates Library value through major strategic priorities, each with high-level value statements or Principles and a suite of associated Guidelines. The framework marks a new generation of Library value and impact tools. Coupling the framework with associated performance indicators, library directors and stakeholders can be better informed of library value.
