Presentation
Forget Gate Counts: Assessing Transformative Programming
Library Marketing and Communications Conference
(2016)
Abstract
One of the five strategic goals of the William H. Hannon Library is to contribute to “formative and transformative
education of the whole person through outreach and programming.” Through events such as the annual Haunting
of Hannon, the Hannon Human Library, and the Spring Women’s Voices series, the library outreach team at
Loyola Marymount University seeks to create experiences that reach beyond connecting students to information
resources and highlight the library as a transformative force in student life. Measuring the success of these
experiences requires targeted evaluation methods similar to those used for library instruction. This presentation
will outline the design, workflow, and results of applying evaluation methods created for library instruction toward
library outreach and programming, including the formation of a rubric and student learning outcomes.
