This session will explain the process of planning, executing, and using a needs assessment to help us provide more effective library instruction at the Tarrant County College Southeast Campus. I will explain the process I used in performing a needs assessment of our student success course and their library instruction needs. I will explain the planning, who I talked to, how I gathered data, and how I assessed existing and future outcomes. I will also explain how we implemented the needs assessment to revise our student learning outcomes, instruction style, and the content we cover. Finally, I will address what feedback we've received and how this is affecting our approach to library instruction at our campus.
