Project

CHICAGO — The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) is pleased to announce the publication of the fiscal year 2024 report for the Project Outcome for Academic Libraries toolkit. Data in this report includes all immediate and follow-up surveys and responses from institutions in the United States and covers the period September 1, 2023 – August 31, 2024. The report is available as a free download from the Project Outcome for Academic Libraries website.

Project Outcome is a free online toolkit designed to help libraries understand and share the impact of essential library programs and services by providing simple surveys and an easy-to-use process for measuring and analyzing outcomes. Participating libraries are also provided with the resources and training support needed to apply their results and confidently advocate for their library’s future. Project Outcome’s standardized surveys allow libraries to aggregate their outcome data and analyze trends by service topic, program type, and over time. For the first time, academic libraries can see how the outcomes of their programs and services compare across their institution, Carnegie Class, and nation.

To start measuring the impact of your library, register for Project Outcome for Academic Libraries for free today.
