Hi All,
I am Krista McLeod, Library Director at the Nevins Memorial Library in Methuen, MA.
Like some of the others, I am planning to use the RIPL program to develop better evaluation techniques for my library, beginning with a comprehensive evaluation as a first step in a new long-range plan. I have become increasingly concerned about the disconnect between our services and our ability to evaluate them effectively, so I am hoping to learn some new techniques to understand the effectiveness of what we are putting our energies into. At my library we are wrapping up a federal grant that was supposed to have a major component of evaluation, and I have not been impressed so far by the data collection methods and tools. So I look forward to getting lots of new ideas!!
Although 8am is pretty early for me!! I may not be awake until after my second or third cup of coffee!
