Iowa Library Association / ACRL: Webinar

A workshop was originally scheduled at the Iowa ACRL chapter conference in May, which had to be cancelled due to COVID-19. We are offering this virtual format for ILA/ACRL members instead. 

 

1-hour webinar

Date: Friday, May 22

Time: 10am Central Time

Presenter: Sara Goek (ACRL)

 

 

Attendees will learn about the new Project Outcome for Academic Libraries surveys and resources. Project Outcome is a free toolkit that helps libraries measure four key learning outcomes – knowledge, confidence, application, and awareness – across seven library program and service areas.  The survey topics cover: Instruction, Events/Programs, Research, Teaching Support, Digital & Special Collections, Space, and Library Technology. The toolkit provides academic libraries of any size the means to easily measure outcomes and use that data as the basis for improvements and advocacy. This session will include opportunities for questions and discussion among participants.

 

Prior to the webinar we recommend that participants register for Project Outcome and review basic materials in the toolkit.

  • Learn how to use the Project Outcome for Academic Libraries toolkit, from administering surveys to visualizing results.
