There are a few remaining places for the first workshop in the research methods series: Evaluating Service Impact being held in Central London, Monday 28th November 2011.
This is a one-day workshop for professional librarians, knowledge managers and information service providers. During the day participants will work through what is required to identify meaningful performance measures for your service. For further details see: www.aspire2rm1.eventbrite.com.
The workshop will be facilitated by David Streatfield who is an Independent Impact Consultant to the Global Libraries Initiative funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and has acted in a similar capacity for IFLA, and the Global Impact Study. With his colleague Sharon Markless, David is preparing a new edition of their book Evaluating the Impact of Your Library, to be published by Facet Publishing in 2012.
Erika will be running Customer Journey Mapping sessions on the mornings and afternoons of 22 & 29 November. Sessions will last around 2hrs 30mins. Several staff have already attended this training but as the Library is trying to encourage this method of measuring customer satisfaction in order to improve services , it would be good to have as many people trained in/and aware of the process as possible. Please could you let me know if you or any of the staff on your section would like to attend a workshop and state the preferred date and time.
The 23rd of November sees the launch of a new series of free JISC Digital Media online surgeries. Each session is designed to provide help and support and answer any questions you have regarding digital media.
