CHICAGO—Join Core for the webinar "Best of Core Forum: Translating Mission Statements into Metrics" on March 20, 2024, at 1 p.m. CT. Useful metrics must balance alignment, objectivity, measurability, and ease of communication. Mission, vision, and values statements can help anchor and direct a library, but their high degree of abstraction makes them difficult to measure, making it hard to set institutional goals and communicate successes. However, identifying the priorities that align with these statements allows you to choose metrics that effectively and efficiently measure performance.
