ACRL Project Outcome Workshop

Atla is sponsoring a two-hour workshop, ACRL Project Outcome Workshop, on February 4, 2021.

Description

In this 2-hour  workshop, attendees will learn how to successfully implement Project Outcome for Academic Libraries. 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 via participant surveys. The survey topics cover: Instruction, Events/Programs, Research, Teaching Support, Digital & Special Collections, Space, and Library Technology. Project Outcome provides academic libraries of any size the means to easily measure outcomes in those areas and to use that data as the basis for continuous improvements and advocacy.

Prior to the workshop we recommend that participants register for Project Outcome, review basic materials in the toolkit, and consider a goal for outcome measurement at their library.

Learning Outcomes

Participants will:

• Measure meaningful learning outcomes using Project Outcome for Academic Libraries.
• Use the Project Outcome toolkit to administer surveys, analyze results, and create reports.
• Understand how other libraries have used outcome data for action.
• Develop a simple plan to implement Project Outcome at your library.

Who Should Attend

This workshop is intended for all librarians, library staff, and library administrators who are interested in making improvements to the library’s programs and services. The workshop and focus of Project Outcome is particularly relevant to those who interact directly with library users and those who take part in library assessment practices. Attendees are not expected to have any assessment expertise or previous experience with Project Outcome.

Facilitator

Sue Hunter, Acting Library Manager, University of Guelph-Humber and ACRL Project Outcome Editorial Board Member
