NCompass Live: Project Outcome: Measuring the True Impact of Public Libraries

Join us for the next NCompass Live, ‘Project Outcome: Measuring the True Impact of Public Libraries’, on Wednesday, March 1, 10:00am – 11:00am CT. Are your patrons actually benefiting from the programs and services you provide? If so, how can you prove it? The Public Library Association’s latest initiative, Project Outcome, is a FREE online toolkit, offering an innovative and easy-to-use platform for public libraries to measure the impact of their programs and services. Library staff are able to easily measure patron outcomes using the field-tested surveys, quickly analyze their data using ready-made reports and an interactive data dashboard, and take action using the results. This session demonstrates what Project Outcome measures, what is included in the online toolkit, and how libraries of all shapes and sizes can utilize Project Outcome to measure their impact and affect change within their community. Burnsville (WV) Public Library will highlight their experience using Project Outcome. Presenters: Beth Anderson, Director, Burnsville (WV) Public Library; Samantha Lopez, Project Coordinator, Public Library Association. Upcoming NCompass Live events:
