Assessment opportunity at ALA 2010

The Library Leadership and Management Association (LLAMA) Measurement, Assessment, and Evaluation Section (MAES) will be hosting a preconference in DC on working with "visual data." As the chair of the planning committee I know it will be a great event. We have three dynamic leaders who will work with participants in a hands-on workshop. Please join us!

Looking through New Eyes: Collecting and Using Visual Data
Friday, June 25, 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Learn to look at your library like a customer, not a librarian. Understand your users better by getting a peek into how they live. Spend the day with experienced researchers, getting hands-on experience with visual data collection and analysis techniques, including photo and video surveys, wayfinding studies, and customer-led design activities. Return home with new skills and strategies for using visual data to plan and advocate for spaces and services designed with users in mind.
Speakers: Nancy Kress, UNLV; Kathleen Webb, Univ. of Dayton; Katie Clark, Univ. of Rochester
