How can we apply an assessment lens to our own assessment practices? To answer this question, we follow a mixed-methods approach by applying the assessment ecosystem design described in the recent ARL Assessment Program Visioning Task Force Recommendations (December 17, 2017). Our research synthesizes the evidence and insights gathered through three methods: a case study analysis, a comparative analysis, and a gap analysis.First, we examine a case study of a UX and Assessment (UX&A) program recently developed at Montana State University (MSU). The vision of the UX&A program at MSU is to build and sustain a library that is useful, usable, and desirable for our diverse community of users. UX&A personnel work collaboratively with other Library departments to continually measure, assess, and improve users' experience of Library services and instruction, both physical and online. This new UX&A program was developed in tandem with a new library strategic plan, which is based on the Balanced Scorecard framework.With the new assessment program and strategic plan in place, we conducted a second phase of research: a comparative analysis of the MSU UX&A program vis-à-vis the assessment landscape described in the ARL Recommendations. In this analysis, we highlight which ecosystem elements are currently in place, which elements are in development, and which still need to be developed at MSU.Next, we conducted a gap analysis comparing the ARL recommendations with established and emerging user experience and assessment programs in place at other research libraries to determine if there are additional elements outside of these recommendations that may be useful for describing, assessing, and improving a library’s assessment framework.Finally, we synthesized the insights gathered from our meta-assessment to create an enhanced version of the ARL ecosystem as applied to the MSU library. In terms of practical impact, this enhanced meta-assessment ecosystem can be applied to comprehensively evaluate and improve a library’s user experience and assessment program. Our research ultimately demonstrates and models an approach for meta-assessment that can help inform the development of more effective and sustainable library UX and assessment programs, for the ultimate benefit of our users.

The authors discuss some of the unique aspects and lessons of the New Zealand post-earthquake building safety inspection program that was implemented following the Canterbury earthquake sequence of 2010–2011. The post-event safety assessment program was one of the largest and longest programs undertaken in recent times anywhere in the world. The effort engaged hundreds of engineering professionals throughout the country, and also sought expertise from outside, to perform post-earthquake structural safety inspections of more than 100,000 buildings in the city of Christchurch and the surrounding suburbs. While the building safety inspection procedure implemented was analogous to the ATC 20 program in the United States, many modifications were proposed and implemented in order to assess the large number of buildings that were subjected to strong and variable shaking during a period of two years. This note discusses some of the key aspects of the post-earthquake building safety inspection program and summarizes important lessons that can improve future earthquake response.

This Technical Note (TN) sets out the findings and recommendations made in the context of the 2019 Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) for Austria in the areas of AML/CFT. It provides a targeted review of Austria’s progress in addressing the ML/TF vulnerabilities in the banking sector, including AML/CFT supervision and cross-border activities, progress in enhancing the transparency of legal persons and arrangements, and risks related to virtual assets (VAs) and virtual assets service providers (VASPs). This review is not an assessment or evaluation of the country’s AML/CFT regime. In this regard, Austria’s AML/CFT system was assessed by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) against the current FATF standard and the Mutual Evaluation Report (MER) was adopted in September 2016. The authorities are focused on improving the effectiveness of the legal, regulatory, and supervisory framework in mitigating ML/TF risks.
