If you are looking to develop or expand your data services, you’ll face some hard questions:

1. How can you use your current service model to identify achievable and flexible goals?

2. What are the unique considerations in building library data services in a university or hospital setting?

3. How can you develop service and funding partnerships with limited time and budgets?

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to answer these questions and set a path for success using a model based on SMART principles, which emphasizes general best practices for capacity-building through initiatives and partnerships and avoids one-size-fits-all solutions.

You’ll learn how to do outcome-oriented planning with limited resources, build networks of partners and advocates, and use continual evaluation to dynamically adjust as your resources and needs shift.

You’ll get access to a website with supplemental materials, including slides outlining the presentation and example templates for needs assessment interviews, and planning and evaluation exercises.

This webinar is approved for the “under construction” Level II of the Data Services Specialization. A Level I Data Services Specialization Certification is currently available.

Audience

Medical librarians and other health services professionals who are interested in developing or expanding their library data services.
