Starting Small with Project Outcome

Central Time

Summary

Libraries may feel too overwhelmed with limited staff and resources to take on something new like measuring outcomes, which is why starting small and scaling up is the best method for success. Starting small helps libraries increase their staff’s comfort with and expertise in outcomes measurement; capitalize on trial-and-error learnings; and build a structure for peer support of data collection and use. Participants in this webinar will hear from a veteran Project Outcome user on their experience starting small by evaluating the library’s Small Business series and scaling up to library-wide programming.

Learning Outcomes

At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will:

• Know what Project Outcome is and what outcomes are measured;
• Understand how to overcome surveying challenges by starting small; and
• Be able to apply best practices and lessons learned from real-world examples.

Who Should Attend

This webinar is open to everyone but will be most helpful to libraries that are new to outcomes measurement.
