PLA Preconference Project Outcome Enrollment Workshop: Simple Tools to Measure True Impact on Those We Serve

Description

 

At this preconference, PLA will convene public library representatives and introduce them to Project Outcome and how it helps them measure the impact of their services. Library leaders from PLA’s Performance Measurement Task Force will kick off the session by describing their experience in pilot-testing outcome measurement in seven core service areas. Attendees will learn how to deploy outcome measures in their libraries, collect and use resulting data, and leverage the project's support network to ensure successful adoption.

 

At the end of this preconference, participants will:

- Know how to enroll in Project Outcome and understand the resources available to them;
- Know how to administer the surveys and report findings to the Project Outcome portal; and
- Be able to select which surveys to use based on strategic planning needs and goals.
