Our two guest speakers share the importance of impact measurement as well as how to leverage and use language when discussing the value of the library within a company or organisation.

Kristīne Pabērza-Ramiresa explores why impact evaluation still such a struggle for many libraries. Although there are a number of reasons, such as making sure stakeholders understand measures of success or confusing outputs with outcomes, the importance of making measurement a habit and an integral part of services or programmes can provide interesting and wider benefits.

Christian Lauersen considered a 2020 study initiated by Roskilde Central Library and conducted by Seismonaut on the impact of public libraries in Denmark. This study was the first of its kind and presented a nuanced analysis of the impact of public libraries on the Danish public.
