MANAGERIAL USE OF STATISTICS - A BEGINNER'S GUIDE
30 October, London
Managing library and information services effectively now demands a degree
of numeracy from many levels of staff.
Making sense of figures, drawing inferences and then influencing
decision-making are all important in a climate of management which
emphasises measurement and accountability. This climate has tightened the
need for effectiveness and efficiency, and requires closer analysis of the
performance of services, both in terms of quality and quantity.
BENEFITS FROM ATTENDING
This highly practical workshop will help participants focus on the
quantitative approach, examining working techniques involved in figuring out
what is going on in their service. It will provide support through workshop
activities, for those who have to deal with numbers or statistics but doubt
their mathematical ability to cope. In addition it will enable participants
to start converting numbers into meaning and to become familiar with some
basic techniques, using a series of practical examples and case studies to
highlight this throughout the day.
BY THE END OF THE EVENT PARTICIPANTS WILL HAVE:
* examined basic methods for analysing data
* an understanding of elementary quantitative techniques
* considered the use of data in management of services
