Creating an Outreach Story: Assessment Results, Strategic Planning, and Reflection

 

Session Description:
Librarians who support and engage with outreach activities often struggle to articulate the impact of their work. While assessment is emphasized throughout other aspects of librarianship, outreach is only beginning to catch up. Supporting outreach work with assessment and both quantitative and qualitative data is important for librarians who need to tell their engagement story. This contributed paper will share the experience of two librarians that are working to align outreach efforts with library and campus strategic goals. This paper will give participants a structure and place to begin a deeper assessment of their outreach plans.
