Abstract
Following trends in higher education that emphasize quantitative analytical approaches to assess educational outcomes, academic libraries are increasingly attempting to quantify their impacts on student learning and demonstrate their value to the university's educational mission. By applying learning analytics techniques to library use and instructional data, libraries have especially focused on attempting to measure the impact of the library on student GPA, retention, and attainment measures.
