PDA Event: Getting Started with Project Outcome for Academic Libraries

Thursday, October 27, 2022 - 10:00am to 11:00am

In this one-hour webinar, attendees will be introduced to the 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.

The webinar is intended to help stimulate discussion at the host institution/organization about effective outcome measurement strategies and to engage all library staff in that process.
