Project Outcome: Measuring the True Impact of Libraries

To celebrate Love Data Week 2022, the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) and the Public Library Association (PLA) invite you to learn about outcome measurement in libraries. Project Outcome is a free toolkit that helps libraries measure and assess the outcomes of key library programs and services. In this free on-demand webinar, participants will be introduced to everything the Project Outcome toolkit has to offer. Learn how to measure meaningful learning outcomes and how Project Outcome can help at every step in the process—from administering surveys to presenting the results.

We recommend that participants register for Project Outcome for public or academic libraries and review basic materials in the toolkit prior to the webinar.

Originally presented February 16, 2022.
