Project Outcome helps academic libraries understand and share the impact of essential library services and programs. It is designed to give libraries simple tools and supportive resources to help turn better data into better libraries.

This community is for Project Outcome users at academic libraries to discuss their use of outcome measurement, ask each other about patron engagement strategies, and further the thoughts and conversations that begin with acrl.projectoutcome.org.
Here, you can find various threads to ask and answer questions, start your own conversations, or further your own learning about how libraries are using outcome measurement to improve their patron-focused programs and services.

  • 1.  data privacy/sharing

    Posted 2 days ago

    Greetings,

    We are considering implementing the instruction survey more widely (I am the only active user currently), but have concerns about the privacy of results between instruction librarians. As I understand it, all users can see each others' results within a library. How have other libraries dealt with this issue? I know this is cultural and might not be an issue at some libraries, but I am hoping someone has encountered this and come up with a solution that allows for data collection and reporting while allowing librarians control over their own data sharing.

    Thanks!
