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.  Followup survey qualitative response

    Posted Dec 07, 2023 03:05 PM

    Hello!

    This semester I'm using the Follow-up survey for the first time. The first three questions are all yes/no/n/a and include a Please Explain box after.

    How can I access the responses (if any) to these "Please explain" boxes? When I look at open-ended responses, it only shows the actual open ended questions, not these "subquestions" that are part of close-ended questions.

    Thanks for your help!

    Beth
