to hear from libraries about what you’re tracking, what platforms you are using, and what stats are meaningful to you locally. We are all obviously in a weird moment in time right now, but as Steven points out it’s looking like virtual programming is likely
here to stay. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">At the risk of hijacking Steven’s thread, I just wanted to mention that we will be adding a number of new questions next year to the
<b>2021 Oregon Public Library Statistical Report</b> to help facilitate better reporting on (and data about) virtual programs statewide, and some of these new measures will eventually be reflected in the IMLS’ national
<a href="https://www.imls.gov/research-evaluation/data-collection/public-libraries-survey">
Public Libraries Survey data</a> we contribute to each year. These changes will attempt to track virtual program efforts
<i>during this current fiscal year </i>(July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2021), so please consider tracking these efforts now if you aren’t already. The good news is that most social media platforms
<i>should</i> allow you to pull stats for any given time frame down the road. <o:p>

<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">We're looking for a way to track statistics for the virtual programming we're now doing. It's so hard to measure the true impact of our programming when it's online, but at this point we're feeling
the need to identify some numbers we can consistently gather to establish some baselines and expectations. It seems like we might be doing this virtual thing for a while….<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Some of our programming is live, then archived. And we put some in different places (YouTube and FaceBook mostly). We can get numbers about “estimated reach,” “engagement,” etc., but we’re not
sure what those tell us about how we’re doing at reaching people. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">We’re curious how other libraries are tracking statistics for virtual programming. If you’re doing this, or thinking of doing it, I’d love to hear about your approach. Are there certain stats
you track? Do you look at numbers over time for archived events? That sort of thing….If we get responses I will compile and share with the list.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
