Event Description
Join the Northeast Ohio Regional Library System for an informative morning for circulation managers and anyone interested in exploring reporting standards for library usage and the issues surrounding what we measure to show impact. The morning will begin with Tena Wilson sharing her story about making Stark County District Library a fines free library and what she has learned along the way.
The morning will continue with Tena will discussing circulation and whether we are measuring what we should be measuring. We count circulation and visits, but what else should you be measuring? Let's dig in and consider why we are counting anything at all. Sure, there are reporting standards for library usage, but which of these measurements substantiate our goals and desired outcomes? When you say, "Circ went up," what exactly does that mean -- besides the obvious? What else should you be measuring in order to get a full picture of the positive impact the public library has in the community? This is a practical, interactive discussion meant to inspire you to think about what you are doing and why. You will never look at statistics the same after this workshop.
