I really liked this book.. so much so that I ordered a copy for my collection as well as a personal copy so the library copy wont just hide in my office.

What I found most useful is the section on interpreting data and writing the final assessment report. While I have done both of these before, its a nice refresher for those that have experience and an excellent blue print for newbies.

I swear this good review isn't because I know/worked with the authors. It's because this book does a great job of being exactly what it claims: a PRACTICAL guide. There are so many hands on tips that librarians can apply directly into their assessment and IL programs, it's worth it to read and add to your librarian collection!
