Merchandise Description

This Webinar is Part 3 of a 3-Part Series and will be held on

Thursday, July 21, 2016, 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

COURSE TITLE:  Introduction to Library Value, Part 3:  Communicating Impact   

COURSE DESCRIPTION:  This interactive presentation, the third in a series, will help librarians articulate and communicate library value and impact to institutional units or stakeholder groups.  Using the impact map created during Part 1 and the inquiry plan formulated in Part 2, librarians will analyze targeted audiences, compose positioning statements, devise key messages, and consider communication media and venues that are most effective in conveying library contributions to the missions, purposes, goals, and/or needs of identified institutional units or stakeholder groups. 

Based on this process, librarians will analyze their existing library value communications to identify first steps in improving how they communicate the contributions of library services, areas of expertise, and resources to the intended outcomes of identified groups.  Finally, librarians will craft short “elevator speeches” to practice communicating library value to stakeholders in informal settings.  Questions and discussion will be encouraged throughout the presentation.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:  Participants will envision communication methods and media to convey library impact to their institutions and stakeholders.  

TARGET AUDIENCE:   This series is intended for academic librarians, but may be helpful for public librarians as well.
