    The Power of a Program Logic Model
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2023-09-07) Hinchliffe, Lisa
    This session will present the program logic model as a method for planning, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating library services and then discuss how such a program logic model supports evidence-based decision-making, value reporting, and advocacy for resources. The session will draw on the presenter’s experience with using and also training others to use logic models, using the W.K. Kellogg Foundation Logic Model as an exemplar. Three cases will be presented to evidence the power of a program logic model in different situations: designing a new research professional development support program for faculty librarians and documenting activities and outcomes, developing an implementation plan for a library’s strategic plan and a monitoring strategy and milestones, and documenting an existing library service to reveal the assumed theory of impact and evaluating success relative to existing resources and activities. The presentation will conclude with discussion of challenges faced in using program logic models for planning and evaluation and approaches to overcoming barriers to successful implementation. A presentation at the "Demystifying Statistics and Evaluation in Libraries" Satellite Meeting, organised by the Statistics and Evaluation Section and held at the University of Utrecht in Utrecht, The Netherlands from 17–18 August 2023.

    Reviewing Support for Library Association Development and Sustainability for the Public Benefit
    (2025-01-31) Kyrillidou, Martha; Hinchliffe, Lisa; Morris, Shaneka
    This reports looks at the benefits of the Building Stronger Library Associations (BSLA) program, which ran between 2008 and 2018 more or less. It also looks at future library associations’ needs, using a proposed Taxonomy of Library Association Capacities. This is an emerging idea, based our desk research and our own experiences working with library groups and associations, and one that is there to be adapted and improved on. The report also acknowledges the harsh reality of many small library associations that are run by volunteers and their unique needs, and emphasizes that local context is important when reviewing the taxonomy capacities.
