11AM PST)
Presenter: Mary
O'Kelly is an associate librarian and head of instructional services
at Grand Valley State University, just 15 minutes east of beautiful Lake
Michigan beaches. She is responsible for strategic planning and assessment of
library educational activities, including in-class and online teaching, student
peer mentoring, and library workshops for faculty and staff. When not reading,
writing, and speaking about the relationship between library services and
student success, Mary is busy gardening (hostas and garlic are specialties) and
baking really good bread
Description: Almost every library considers marketing and outreach
a priority, but too often staffing or budget constraints cut these efforts off
at the knees. Join us for a webinar to discuss some of our successful no-to-low
cost outreach and marketing efforts from both academic and public libraries.
This webinar will cover how to select what to focus on, options you can try,
and resources where you can reach out for help. Learn how to take in new ideas
and scale them to your library without burning out your staff or maxing out
your budget. From our cash-strapped marketing budgets to yours, join Amanda
Roper and John Mack Freeman for a discussion on how you can do marketing and
outreach without breaking the bank.It's easy to collect data about our libraries.
It's a lot harder to interpret the data in a way that tells a compelling story.
At the 2015 Southeastern Library Assessment Conference Mary O'Kelly shared
exciting new data showing a statistically significant positive relationship
between library instruction and student retention. This webinar will reveal a
fourth year of data from this longitudinal study, including new analysis on
persistence to graduation. But was does that really mean and how did we get
here? This webinar will focus on a detailed, replicable process for not only
collecting data but also using it to answer some pretty important questions
about your library services. Mary O'Kelly -- who works at an academic library
without a dedicated assessment librarian -- will share the process and methods
used at GVSU, including tips on building a culture of assessment when
assessment is distributed across multiple departments. The webinar will include
time for Q&A and sharing your own assessment success stories.
