Create a Good Outreach Plan
What will you do?
Why is it important?
How will you know the results of your project?
Who cares about those results?
What will you report at the end?
Example Outreach Project: “Bridging the Health Information Gap”
1. Strengthen K-12 health education.2. Provide training in using NLM resources to K-12
instructors and students.3. Focus on NLM SIS K-12 Science and Health
Education website.4. Tailor resources depending on age group.5. Provide further instruction for interested teachers
and students.6. Survey participants to evaluate training.
Example Outreach Plan
What will you do?• Provide training, focused on NLM SIS K-12 Science and Health Education
website, tailored by age group. Provide further instruction for interested teachers and students.
Why is it important?• Strengthen K-12 health education.
How will you know the results of your project?• Survey participants to evaluate training
Who cares about those results?
What will you report at the end?
How do we evaluate our outreach?
Quantitative approaches (how many, how much) End-of-session evaluations Tests Questionnaires Records Observations
How do we evaluate our outreach?
Qualitative approaches (what do the numbers mean?) Interviews Field observation Written documents
Outreach Often Involves Training
The Kirkpatrick model’s 4 stages provide a framework for evaluating quality and results:
Evaluation of Quality: Examples
MLA Course Evaluation
MLA Health Information Literacy Research Project Training Evaluation

Be Aware of “Response shift”
Pre-test/Post-Test question for a law enforcement workshop to a Neighborhood Watch Program
Retrospective pre-test may protect against response shift
Post test/Retrospective question for a Neighborhood Watch workshop
Perceived change is an alternative to retrospective pre-test methods
Perceived change question for a Neighborhood Watch workshop
Pilot-test your questionnaires at least twice!
1. Ask a couple of colleagues to work through your questionnaire—actually fill it out—and provide feedback to you. Revise accordingly.
NOTE: Susan Barnes can help you with this, and so can UCLA’s NN/LM PSR librarians!
2. Have a sample of five or six people who are members of the group you are studying (or who are very similar to them) fill out the questionnaire and provide feedback.
Evaluation resources are available on the web and in print
