[PL-Directors] No-Cost Webinar: "Measurement Matters"

[Darci Hanning]

Dear Directors,

I wanted to let you know about an upcoming webinar from PLA on September 8, 2016 titled, "Measurement Matters: Using Edge, Project Outcome, and the Impact Survey to Assess and Improve Community Outcomes".

This is a great opportunity for you and your staff to learn how all three tools can be used to:

1.    Set goals for improving technology services and measure success in patron outcomes;

2.    Show results from implementing the Edge Action Plan as it relates to library programming; and

3.    Measure impact of library resources and services in the community.

The State Library hopes that you will be able to attend this free webinar! Here is the pertinent information:

Thursday, 9/8/2016 @ 11:00 AM-12:00 PM (Pacific)
Registration: Free, but registration is required
Please visit: http://www.ala.org/pla/onlinelearning/webinars/measurementmatters for complete information, including details on how to register online.

Overview: How do your technology services compare to other libraries? How are your patrons using the technology services at your library? Do your patrons use what they learned from your library's programs and services? If so, how? What are the benefits your community is receiving through access to technology through the library?

Knowledge is power. Collectively, Impact Survey, Project Outcome, and the Edge Initiative are powerful, field-tested instruments being used by libraries throughout the United States to make strategic decisions on which programming and services to offer and which technology investments should be made to ensure that the library continues to meet patron needs and community priorities.

This free webinar will educate you and your staff on these three outcome measurement tools and showcase how libraries are using the data for strategic planning, programming, and communication with local leaders to better serve their communities. Participants will hear from staff at PLA, the Urban Libraries Council (ULC), the University of Washington iSchool and public libraries using all three products.


Cheers,
Darci
