Data is used for compliance purposes; to evaluate programs; for advocacy, marketing, or promotion; to inform research & policy; and for continuous improvement of operations. Join this session to learn about what the data is (and isn’t) telling us about the use of BadgerLink resources at K-12 libraries and statewide, what this may mean for the future of digital resources, and steps you can take to begin or enhance your data collection journey. Bring your curiosity and questions and leave with new insights!
For those planning to attend the WEMTA conference, we hope to see you at any of these sessions to say hi and share the latest and greatest on BadgerLink resources!
