Measure Your Impact: Getting Started with Outcome-Based Evaluation

Do you want to learn how to measure the effects your library’s programs, resources, and services have on your users? Would you like to discover various ways to measure outcomes in your library? Join Linda Hofschire, Director of the Colorado State Library’s Library Research Service, in this webinar, where you'll learn practical tips for getting started with outcome-based evaluation. You will gain a deeper understanding of what outcomes are, and how they work in conjunction with inputs and outputs to provide meaningful information about your library's impact on your community.

At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will:

• Be able to differentiate between inputs, outputs, and outcomes (the data trifecta) and recognize why all three are needed in order to conduct meaningful evaluations
• Be familiar with various methods for measuring outcomes
• Be able to create a plan for evaluating a program, project, or service at their library
