In response to COVID-19, many libraries have closed their physical buildings, offered fully remote services, and experienced staffing decreases, amid other disruptions. Despite this, administrators, consortia, and funding agencies will expect the same data that we report each year. This poses an interesting question: how do we communicate the value of what the library has been doing for our communities during these tumultuous times? Join Library UX Chicago for an online event exploring ways to think about data collection and apply storytelling techniques to convey value to administrators and stakeholders. We plan to discuss ways of documenting innovation in the libraries during COVID-19, strategic decision-making and goal setting using data that cannot be meaningfully benchmarked, the short-term impact of maintaining typical data collection methods, and more.
Call for Participation! Library UX is looking for lightning round presenters to share ideas they have for framing library data for administrators, methods for collaboratively establishing a value framework, or experience with applying communication or storytelling techniques to library data. Brief presentations (about 10 minutes) will be given via Zoom followed by an open discussion. If you have ideas, concepts, or lessons-learned to share with the group, please email Abby Annala at [email protected] or Devin Savage at [email protected]. RSVP for the Event Thursday, October 1, 2020 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm Location: Zoom A link to the Zoom session will be provided upon registration. This session will not be recorded.
