Sorry for the short notice on this one. I hope some of you will be able to attend this FREE CE Program for Librarians. The Fox Valley Area Library Consortia (FRVALC) and The National Network of Medical Libraries-Greater Midwest Region (GMR)<http://nnlm.gov/gmr/> will be hosting the MLA Webcast entitled: Making the Case : Using Assessment to Show Value and Make Decisions What : 2.5-hour webcast from The Medical Library Association Description As libraries are increasingly asked to demonstrate their value and the contributions they make to their institutions, library staff need efficient and effective strategies for assessment. Best practice in assessment means embedding assessment into the library's practices on a continuous basis rather than treating it as a separate and additional task. This webinar will present an integrated and systematic approach to developing and assessing library activities that includes identifying impact outcomes and aligned activities, establishing criteria, collecting and analyzing data and evidence, and using the results for improvement and telling the story of the library's impact.
