> The Library & Information Research Group (LIRG) and the SCONUL Advisory
> Committee on Performance Improvement are holding a residential seminar to
> stimulate discussion and encourage exchange of experience on ways of
> assessing the impact of libraries on learning.
>
> The workshop-based seminar will be led by David Streatfield and Sharon
> Markless of Information Management Associates, whose recent consultancy
> projects include the 'Effective College Library' and 'Best Value and Best
> Performance in Libraries'. There will also be contributions from Sue
> Wilkinson, Director, Library and Access at Re:source plus case study
> presentations of relevant research projects. Speakers include:
> Dr. Linda Banwell, University of Northumbria - evaluating EIS use and
> impact
> Richard Proctor, University of Sheffield - impact of public libraries on
> learning
> Professor Dorothy Williams, Robert Gordon University - impact of school
> libraries on learning
>
> The emphasis of the workshop will be on small group sessions in which
> participants will be encouraged to produce their own practical outcomes,
> identifying criteria for success, and looking at ways of finding evidence.
> It is hoped that work done by participants at the seminar will form the
> basis of a tool kit which will be of general interest in libraries.
>
> The seminar will be of interest to those who wish to find out more about
> measuring impact and who are looking for practical ways forward as to how
> they may go about assessing the impact of their own libraries. We
> welcome applications from library and information professionals across all
> sectors.
>
> The seminar will be held at the Hotel St. Nicholas, Scarborough from
> lunchtime on the Monday 9th. December 2002 until lunchtime on Tuesday
> 10th. December. The fee for the seminar will be £240 (£220 for LIRG
> personal members) which will include accommodation and meals.
