Library users and stakeholders will recognize and value the importance of their libraries' services and of librarians to the organization. That is the ultimate goal of this class. The expected outcome for the class is that librarians will be able to show the value of their libraries' services. Participants will become familiar with an evaluation process and will use and take away methods and tools for assessment, evaluation planning, creation of logic models, data collection, and reporting. The workshop will feature a case-based scenario that moves participants through the steps of an evaluation process. There will also be student discussion and exercises in addition to lecture.
