(There's a lot to cover on the agenda, so we'll begin promptly at 11!)





Greetings,

This is the most-agreeable timeslot for all those involved. If you can't make this, I will attempt to record the session and sharing conversation afterwards via this Outlook event will be possible.

Alma IPEDS Dashboard and Aggregated Data
If your school uses Alma, please consider exploring/reviewing the IPEDS WACTCLC dashboard as discoverable in the image attached. Also, Wade has created a collection of aggregate data from the CTCs and it's available via a link on this page<https://sites.google.com/view/wactclc/home?authuser=0>.

What is IPEDS?
Don't know what IPEDS is? Review here<https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/use-the-data>. Click "Look Up an Institution," use final release data, enter your institution name, and go into the Academic Libraries section to explore the summaries provided. Note: for the exact information submitted, you will want to click from Institution Profile to Reported Data and look at the Academic Libraries section there (these two "tabs" are very different!).

Sections of IPEDS
We will explore during our agenda the following sections (i.e. ALL sections) of IPEDS and I invite people to bring their questions and their strategies for submitting this data-feel free to send to me in advance if you'd like it incorporated into/referenced at the meeting by me, especially if you've had to change your approach since getting Alma or another new ILS. (Note: the following are all based on actual data you need to submit for each IPEDS!)

Additional Talking Points

*        Are we interested in a "how to" document to describe best practices for IPEDS submission in the age of Alma?

o   This document could include basic and shared definitions and sample context statements for the fields above.

o   This document could help align some of the data we're submitting and also be useful for other college library consortia.

*        Are we interested in a tool for sharing/communicating about IPEDS and other data collection initiatives with WACTCLC?

*        Has talking about IPEDS and the data of our library collections/expenses raised any larger questions?
