Workshop 2: The "So What?" of Libraries - Developing Next-Generation Measures, Metrics, Impact, and Evaluation
Thursday Sept 26, 2019
1PM - 4PM

In a changing world, traditional numbers like "books on loan" or "visitors through the door" won't cut it - but nor will vague or ill-defined statements of worth. How do we capture and evidence complex relationships across physical and digital spaces?

How can we develop measures that better reflect our circumstances and mission?
What measures can we use to capture the second-order "knock-on" effects by which libraries benefit those they serve?
How can we provide useful, authentic metrics to our stakeholders without gaming the system and "playing to the targets"?

This interactive session will focus on developing, applying, and advocating for new measures of impact in any library sector - from public libraries to those serving schools, tertiary education, or specialist institutions.

Participants will explore ways of measuring second-order impacts in libraries, richer forms of quantitative evaluation, and how to define a "value-creating system" which specifies the exact difference your library makes to the ecosystem in which it operates.

Facilitators
This workshop will be led by Dr Matt Finch (UK) and Brendan Fitzgerald (Australia).
