Project Outcome Panel: User Experiences & Lessons Learned
Thursday, June 15, 1-2 p.m. Central Time
Get inspired from your peers! The panelists on this webinar represent libraries that were part of Project Outcome’s initial launch in June 2015. Hear their experiences using the surveys and tools and how they have made Project Outcome fit their library’s needs. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and share their own experiences. At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will:

  *   Understand how other libraries are using Project Outcome’s surveys and tools to measure the outcomes for specific program and library needs;
  *   Know how to implement Project Outcome in their library; and,
  *   Be able to apply lessons learned and best practices.
This webinar is open to everyone but will be most helpful to libraries using Project Outcome. REGISTER NOW!<http://projectoutcome.us11.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=d70c72fe3d54d7b0525f80617&id=be21d243bd&e=3a6f5d3e78>

Outcome Measurement Guidelines
The Performance Measurement Task Force has recently released its statement of intent for Project Outcome's Outcome Measurement Guidelines<http://projectoutcome.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d70c72fe3d54d7b0525f80617&id=7c9edd15ad&e=3a6f5d3e78>. The Guidelines will help support libraries in more complex, outcome-focused data collection efforts, such as:

  *   Developing their own outcome measures;
  *   Implementing data collection methods other than the existing Project Outcome standardized surveys;
  *   Measuring data over time; and,
  *   Developing strategies working with partners on outcome measurement projects.
Check out the newest guidelines for developing your own outcome measures<http://projectoutcome.us11.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=d70c72fe3d54d7b0525f80617&id=0bc1a3c0c5&e=3a6f5d3e78> & writing open-ended survey questions<http://projectoutcome.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d70c72fe3d54d7b0525f80617&id=6b4b095897&e=3a6f5d3e78>.
