Project Outcome is free until at least 2017 (maybe longer!) and also gives you free access to Impact Survey starting on November 12, 2015.

Contact: Project Outcome staff via phone 312-280-5857 or this email form: https://www.projectoutcome.org/contacts/new If you want more information about how Project Outcome aligns with what's going on in the Oregon library community, read on! If not, skip the rest of this email. Project Outcome evaluates four desired outcomes across seven types of library services and programs. The four outcomes evaluated are patrons' changes in 1) knowledge, 2) skills, 3) behavior, and 4) attitude as a result of using library services. The seven library service areas these four outcomes are evaluated in are: * Civic/community engagement * Digital inclusion * Early childhood literacy * Economic development * Education and lifelong learning * Job skills * Summer reading As an Oregon public library, you might use Project Outcome to conduct outcome based evaluations associated with: * Edge Initiative (digital inclusion, education and lifelong learning, job skills) * Ready to Read grant (early childhood literacy, summer reading) * Statewide databases (education and lifelong learning, job skills) * Optional: Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) competitive grants (Project Outcome service areas would vary depending on your LSTA grant) Questions about using Project Outcome for statewide programs?
