We are delighted to announce a three-part CSL in Session series, Everyday Evaluations, presented by the Colorado State Library’s Library Research Service!

We’ve all been asked to evaluate a piece of our work at some point! In this three-part series, we will share strategies to collect and communicate actionable data ethically and efficiently.

In this session we will dive into the world of data collection. Using real-world examples, we’ll go over project goals, accessible collection, types of data that you choose or need to collect and navigating sticky data collection situations.
