Measurements that Matter: Analyzing Patron Behavior
Date & Time: March 4th, 2014 12:00 PM. Start Time: Pacific - 12 Noon, Mountain - 1 PM, Central - 2 PM, Eastern - 3
PM
Description:
-
Do you wish your library got more credit for its wide range of offerings?
- Do you sometimes feel pressured
to make tough choices without adequate information?
- Has your library documented
everything there is to know about how items move through the system, and next
to nothing about how users move between services?
- Are you reluctant to delve into
patron data for fear of compromising confidentiality?
If you suspect that better data
might contribute to better decisions, you're right! Let's face it – as library
services evolve, traditional statistics paint an increasingly limited picture
of what's really going on.
Today's library is supposed to be
a "people place," yet we pay relatively little attention to
people-related data. In this webinar we'll explore the human side of library
measurement, taking special care to improve our understanding of our users
without sacrificing confidentiality or invading their privacy.
You do not need previous
knowledge of statistical methods or research techniques to benefit from this
discussion. We'll focus on simple, practical approaches to analyzing:
-
Patron recruitment and retention,
-
Usage life-cycles,
-
In-building navigation and browsing,
-
Past and future demand for services,
-
Target audiences' communications preferences, and
-
Overall patterns of library use.
You'll learn low and no-cost
methods for gathering patron data, including the kinds of reports you can
reasonably request from your IT department or automated system vendor.
Whether you're scheduling desk
coverage, defending a budget, reaching out to new users, writing a grant,
planning an ad campaign, or just trying to figure out which services are
working well and which may need another look, this webinar will help you make
sense of the patron side of the equation.
This webinar will be of interest
to anyone who collects, reviews, interprets, presents, or makes decisions based
on library service statistics, including library managers, supervisors, team
leaders, and professional staff, other library service developers and designers,
IT/systems personnel, grant writers, trustees and commissioners, and anyone who
is interested in using data to improve services to library users.
Webinars are free of charge, you
can pre-register by clicking on the Register Now button (at the top
and bottom of this page). If registering with less than 30 MINUTES from

Eastern - 3 PM
Description:
- Have you tried to get media
coverage for your event, and been disappointed?
- Been part of an interview that
was less than successful?
- Looking for ideas on how to
deal with the media?
Join veteran newspaper, magazine
and TV reporter Barbara Lewis to learn about the best ways to garner publicity
for your event. She’ll discuss Top 15 Tips on dealing with the media.
At the end of this one-hour
webinar, participants will:
- Know how to select the right
media
- Know how to develop the perfect
pitch
- Know how to successfully pitch
an idea
Learn why our presenter decided
to cover certain events, but not others when she was a reporter. And hear about
the results of a survey conducted among library peers about the media and
publicity.
This webinar will be of interest
to all levels of library staff involved dealing with the media or looking for
ways to ensure good publicity.
