Assessment and Evaluation

What does the library already collect pertinent to the DSG?

• Numbers of items digitized (currently largely collected from Archives)
• Workshops given, number of attendees (how would DSG vs. DSC discussions count here?)
• Hours spent in consultation with faculty/grad

How does the DSG define success?

Project success: How long does a project retain staff? When does a project start to maintain its own documentation? When does a project apply for and receive its own funding?

DSG technology impact: When are new structures and programs developed? When is DSG code re-used?

Graduate student development: How many conference presentations and posters are given by DSG grad students, related to DSG projects? How many workshops are designed and led by grad students?

DRS impact: How may new users? Deposits? Downloads? DRS has enabled how many projects?
