So, how do we use OBE in our public adult services to measure
the impact of our work?
![Page 14: 2010 Outcome Based Evaluation in Libraries](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070301/54623e71af7959422a8b4c71/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Implementation
1. Identify need2. Consider options (e.g. program, club,
class, online tutorial, display)3. Outcome-based planning4. Delivery5. Measure impact

Final thoughts…
• Don’t have to do OBE every time.• Start small.• Can be challenging in small libraries.• OBE takes time and commitment.• Consider staff training.• OBE is worth it to advance libraries and share
our success our stories!
