The idea that information is valuable for decision making constitutes a core value of institutional research. But research on information utilization as well as accumulated practioner wisdom continually raise questions about the validity of this assumption. What preconditions the use of information in decision making in higher education and how might its utilization be improved? The authors of this volume of New Directions for Institutional Research revisit an old topic in some new ways, reviewing what is known about infomation utilization on conceptual grounds, then critically evaluating some common mechanisms for communicating information to decision makers. This volume provides a foundation for the application of broad lesons about information utilization to some actual predicaments that practicing institutional researchers face. The is the 64th issue of New Directions for Institutional Research. For more information on the series, please see the Journals and Periodicals page.

This book examines the relevant roles, skills and knowledge needed to build the institutional research capacity across the higher education sector globally. The information contained herein will inform IR practitioners, senior level institution officials, and higher education scholars. With a focus on building the capacity of the IR profession, this book’s primary audiences include senior leaders who wish to introduce or strengthen their understanding for effective decision support and staff members who are currently in decision support units and those who wish to serve in this capacity. However, this book also offers detail on the decision support function to higher education scholars who seek to better address how data can inform policy and planning in higher education. Through a broad discussion about the roles and skills of the practitioners, this book will also enumerate the ways in which decision support practitioners can be valued contributors in shaping the future decisions and direction of specific institutions and higher education broadly.

Institutional research is more relevant today than ever before as growing pressures for improved student learning and increased institutional accountability motivate higher education to effectively use ever-expanding data and information resources. As the most current and comprehensive volume on the topic, the Handbook describes the fundamental knowledge, techniques, and strategies that define institutional research. The book contains an overview of the profession and its history, examines how institutional research supports executive and academic leadership and governance, and discusses the varied ways data from federal, state, and campus sources are used by research professionals. With contributions from leading experts in the field, this important resource reviews the analytic tools, techniques, and methodologies used by institutional researchers in their professional practice and covers a wide range of topics such as: conducting institutional research; statistical applications; comparative analyses; quality control systems; measuring student, faculty, and staff opinions; and management activities designed to improve organizational effectiveness.
