LSTA Five Year Plan Evaluation Report 2008-2012, March 29, 2012

The evaluation’s overarching question was “Did the activities undertaken through the state’s LSTA plan achieve results related to priorities identified in the Act?” The evaluation was conducted and is organized according to the six LSTA priorities. The research design employed two major methodologies: 1. Data sources from Iowa Library Services / State Library of Iowa2 as well as U.S and state sources were indentified for quantitative analysis. These sources, which primarily reflect outputs for various projects, included: Statistics from the Public Library Annual Survey Statistics collected internally by Iowa Library Services such as number of libraries subscribing to sponsored databases, number of database searches, attendance at continuing education events, number of interlibrary loan transactions Evaluation surveys from library training sessions, professional development workshops and other programs supported by LSTA funds Internal databases maintained by Iowa Library Services Impact results from post training evaluations conducted by Iowa Library Services 2010 Iowa census data from the U.S. Census Bureau LSTA State Program Reports for the grant period 2. Following the quantitative analysis, the evaluator gathered qualitative data through interviews with key employees, a telephone focus group with district library consultants and two surveys: LSTA Evaluation Survey (Public Libraries) and LSTA Evaluation Survey (Academic Libraries). Both surveys provided sound samples with 43 representatives of Iowa’s 77 academic libraries and 371 representatives of Iowa’s 544 public libraries participating. Respondents represented libraries of all sizes and geographical areas. Both surveys included multiple choice and rating scale items as well as open-ended questions from which results were coded to identify trends, issues and recommendations.

Kymenlaakson kirjastojen verkkopalveluosaamisen kehittäminen

Tässä työssä tutkittiin kirjastohenkilökunnan tiedollisia, taidollisia ja asenteellisia valmiuksia, jotka liittyvät verkon kautta käytettäviin e-aineistoihin sekä verkkopalvelusovellusten käyttöön. Työn olennaisina osina olivat käyttökoulutuksen suunnittelu ja toteutus sekä siihen liittyvän ennakkotehtävän ja koulutuksen lopuksi kerätyn palautteen analysointi. Koulutustarve oli todettu ennen tätä tutkimusta tehdyllä kyselytutkimuksella. Koulutukseen osallistuneiden osaamistasoa mitattiin ennen koulutusta ennakkotehtävällä. Saatujen tutkimustulosten perusteella e aineistojen ja verkkopalvelusovellusten tuntemus ja käyttökokemus oli vahaista. Koulutuksen jälkeen tehdyn palautekyselyn perusteella vastanneet vaikuttivat motivoituneilta ja tyytyväisiltä koulutuksen antiin. Koulutuksesta saatu hyöty nähtiin yleissivistyksen, tiedonhaun sekä asiakkaiden opastuksen kannalta. Saadun palautteen perusteella koulutusta tulee edelleen kehittää ajankäytön, sisällön suunnittelun ja arvioinnin osalta. Tämän vuoksi tarvitaan tavoiteltavien tietojen ja taitojen tarkempaa määrittelyä. Koulutuksen onnistumisen ja vaikutusten lopullinen arviointi, joka tulisi suorittaa noin vuoden kuluessa koulutuksen päättymisen jälkeen, jäi tämän tutkimuksen ulkopuolelle.

Mesa redonda: Futuro del profesional en bibliotecología

Esta actividad tiene como propósito plantear soluciones a la situación profesional a un futuro de 10 años, al año 2005.Predecir el futuro siempre encierra muchos riesgos, pues todo alrededor está cambiando en forma acelerada. Ya no podemos saber con certeza que el conocimiento adquirido el año pasado pueda resolver un problema este año. No cabe duda que las bibliotecas se han ido transformando en nuestro medio y desde los últimos diez años. Estamos en un momento de transición al cual se debe responder efectivamente con los usuarios tradicionales y con los usuarios familiarizados con medios automatizados.
