Next Steps for ACRLThis new report is a significant milestone for ACRL's value of academic libraries initiative and for the profession.It clearly identifies priority areas and suggests specific actions for academic librarians and administrators to take in developing programs, collections, and spaces focused on student learning and success.It includes effective practices, calls out exemplary studies, and indicates where more inquiry is needed, with proposed research designs.ACRL hopes this report will be used as a springboard for action.The Board of Directors has allocated funds for travel scholarships so that librarians can make presentations about the contributions of libraries to their parent institutions at higher education conferences.ACRL has also allocated funds for small research grants so that scholars and practitioners can undertake research in the areas where this report indicates it is most needed.In 2017, ACRL was chosen as a host organization for the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) Mellon/ ACLS Public Fellows Program, a career-building fellowship initiative designed to expand the reach of doctoral education in the humanities.The Public Fellow placed at ACRL in a two-year staff position will advance research focused on student learning and success and promote findings from this report to resonate across the network of higher education stakeholders.Our fellow is working closely with the VAL Committee to develop the travel scholarship and research grant programs.They will be available through an open, competitive process and we'll be announcing full details in the months ahead.
