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. PLA’s Project Outcome is a free online toolkit designed to help public libraries understand and share the impact of their programs and services by providing simple surveys and an easy-to-use process for measuring and analyzing outcomes.

Fine Forgiveness
by Myla Stuart 15 Jan '19

15 Jan '19

We are thinking of holding a fine forgiveness week. The Library Board asked that I poll other libraries that have done this for advice on pros and cons. What problems did you encounter? How long did you hold the event? Did patrons hold off paying new fines after the date waiting for another forgiveness date? Did you just clear all fines in the system, or have patrons physically come in to request forgiveness? Did you take phone requests? Please respond off line: mylastuart(a)yahoo.com Thanks for the help.
