“…After that time, they met as a group to discuss what they learned from the assessment work and to choose those tools that were most effective at measuring student learning.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the idea of using Kotter's eight‐step model for change leadership to create a culture of assessment that is embedded in the organizational culture of an academic library.Design/methodology/approachThis is a conceptual paper that examines the potential application of a business change model to an academic library change context. Each step of Kotter's model is described within the context of building a culture of assessment, supported by examples and suggestions from the literature of libraries, higher education, organizational behavior and change leadership.FindingsWhile building a culture of assessment is critical for libraries in the current environment, it is a difficult and complex process that requires grassroots initiative, top‐down support and strong leadership. Kotter's model for change management provides a pragmatic structure for culture change through behavioral change and change leadership regardless of positional authority.Practical implicationsThis paper includes best practices for facilitating a culture of assessment, including necessary resources and possible approaches.Originality/valueWhile the literature contains articles about building a culture of assessment, no studies have applied models of change leadership from the management literature to this unique cultural process. This is the first paper that suggests concrete steps for libraries towards building a culture of assessment, even in the absence of an ideal organizational culture. The focus is also on enabling change leadership regardless of whether the change agents have positional authority.

Pensamos, tal y como se expresa en la literatura que "No existe una metodología común para evaluar competencias (…)" (Fundación Europea de la Formación, 2002) y que "No existe un único método mágico (…)" (Ariew & Lener, 2007). Creemos que es preciso seleccionar los métodos más adecuados para evaluar la competencia informacional de manera integrada y utilizar una amplia base de evidencias para inferirla, empleando una mezcla de métodos.…”

“…Attitudes are quantified in terms of satisfaction, corifidence, comfort likes, dislikes, preferences, interests, and so forth. Surveys are often used to evaluate the training itself, the instructors, training resources (blogs, clickers, videos), or the method of instruction (online or face-to-face) [38,40,44,[57][58][59][60].…”
