Presenters Denise Davis, deputy library director of Sacramento (California) Public Library, and Rochelle Logan, former associate director of Support Services at Douglas County (Colorado) Libraries, will share their experiences piloting Project Outcome’s easy-to-use surveys and discuss future opportunities to join this initiative.
