Last Year's Theme: Driving and Measuring Community Impact

BiblioCon '23 highlighted ways that public libraries are making a difference in their communities by creating online patron experiences that are diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible. However, true impact doesn't stop there. While it's essential to qualitatively acknowledge community benefits, more and more libraries want to measure results by looking at data and metrics—and use their findings to drive decisions and strategies. Together, conference speakers and attendees explored ways to create welcoming online experiences while also gauging the efficacy of their activities, and sharing their measurable results with their communities, boards, and cities.
