Apples and Oranges: An Indicator for Assessing the Relative Impact of Library Events

John Jackson, Ray Andrade, Rhonda Rosen, Carol Raby

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This article details one library’s attempt to create a simple assessment method for evaluating the relative engagement of program attendees across a variety of events. The indicator--a combination of perceived level of engagement and calculated level of certainty--can be used alongside other metrics to give a fuller view of overall impact of library programming. By conducting this study, the authors created a method by which to quickly assess and prioritize the most and least impactful events within a particular set.
