[CASL-L] library leaders

[Styles, Julie]

Two great webinars for managers, directors, and other library leaders:

Gathering and Using Community Data<http://evanced.info/cslib/evanced/eventsignup.asp?ID=4754&rts=&disptype=&ret=eventcalendar.asp&pointer=&returnToSearch=&num=0&ad=&dt=mo&mo=11/1/2013&df=calendar&EventType=ALL&Lib=&AgeGroup=&LangType=0&WindowMode=&noheader=&lad=&pub=1&nopub=&page=&pgdisp=>
A 90-minute workshop, Wednesday, November 6, 2:30pm Eastern

Decisions about library programs and services are typically made by library staff, using anecdotal experience as a guide to understanding community wants and needs. But marshaling hard data will give you a much more accurate picture. This workshop will show you how to gather community data in order to assess your library users' needs and desires, and then plan services accordingly. The instructors will use their experience at the highly-regarded Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library as a model, highlighting sources of community data that are likely to already exist and ways that such data can be gathered by library staff. You'll learn how to combine your staff's expertise with concrete data so your library can make wise decisions, forgoing the need to hire an external vendor.

Topics include:

How to find the free sources of data in your community
How to gather data without spending money
Putting your data into action: big challenges and small challenges
