Outcome measurement is a way for libraries to assess their impact on the people they serve and helps libraries answer the question, “What good did we do?” Libraries may need to measure outcomes for a variety of reasons—from measuring and improving impact, to better managing services and resources, to demonstrating a need for funding or other support. This on-demand webinar will help libraries develop their own outcome measures based on program goals and implement those measures through effective survey design.

There are a number of sustainable energy saving strategies that collecting institutions can implement. These strategies require knowledge of the facility that houses the collection as well as a strong data monitoring program. The webinar will focus on not only ways to start gathering data and information to begin to understand what a facility is capable of but also some of the sustainable strategies that institutions can implement.
