The Washington State Catalog, Wayfinder, is one of three projects identified within the LSTA 2008 - 2012 Five-Year Plan for evaluation. Data on the usage of the statewide catalog is limited. OCLC only began reporting this level of information as of january 1, 2011. 2. The Collaborative Summer Library Program is the second of three projects identified for evaluation. Measurement of the change in the number of children participating in summer reading programs is being tracked and the results are now available as discussed in the next OBE section. 3. The Washington State Library will track the effect of its training. This is the third project identified for evaluation. Two basic questions were identified: 1) Were you able to incorporate the training into your daily work? 2) Were you able to work more effectively because of the training? Training information has been compiled for select 2010 trainings. The results are discussed in the next OBE section. - In addition, some subgrantees associated with the Supporting Student Success project have incorporated outcomes into their grant projects utilizing assessment based rubrics to inform success. - The Library as Instructional Leader project undertaken by Washington State Community and Technology College librarians continues to collect outcomes data for the purpose of evaluating success and informing project staff and leadership how the project can further serve the needs of students and the teaching faculty. Q2: Briefly describe your state's results in meeting its identified OBE goal(s) this reporting period. 1. Usage data on Wayfinder has only been available since January 1, 2011. From that point through September 20, 2011, 4,465 searches via 3,938 logons were conducting using the First Search interface. Another 5,958 searches via 3,527 logons were made using the WorldCat.org interface. This forms a long awaited baseline against which to measure change in usage habits. 2. The Washington State Library annually measures the impact of the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP), the program providing summer reading materials through local public libraries. The target goal was to increase the number of summer reading participants by 3% each year. For those public libraries participating in both 2006 and 2010, the number of summer reading participants has increased by 21,545 or 15.9% overall. Total numbers are down somewhat from 2009. 3. The Washington State Library tracks the effect of many of its trainings. The target goal was that 75% would rate courses as relevant or highly relevant to their work. With 2010 funding, 20 subjects for training were presented over the course of the year in multiple locations within the State. Two examples: 1) Successful Volunteer Engagement Strategies for Libraries was presented in 8 locations to 125 participants. Overall, 100% rated the training as a 4 or 5. This was based on a 1-5 scale, with 5 representing that they strongly agree. 100% of participants said that they would be able to incorporate skills gained from the training into their work; and 2) Providing Library Services Across Cultures was presented at 4 locations to 95 participants. When asked if they would be able to incorporate skills gained from this training into their work, and also if they will now be able to provide better library services across cultures, 100% responded yes to both questions. Overall, 88% of the participants rated the training as a 4 or 5, based on a 1-5 scale where 5 indicates it was very effective.
