Abstract
Goal: Library users and stakeholders will recognize and value the importance of their library’s services and of the librarian to the organization. The primary learning outcome for Measuring Your Impact is that librarians will be able to show the value of their library’s services. Participants will become familiar with an evaluation process and will use and take away methods and tools for assessment, evaluation planning, creating logic models, data collection and reporting. The 6-hour workshop will feature a case-based scenario that moves participants through the steps of an evaluation process. There will also be student discussion and exercises in addition to lecture.
Continuing Education
Upon successful completion of this class, each participant will receive 6 hours of continuing education credit awarded by the Medical Library Association.
