Nov 16 - Evaluation

For those of us who are responsible for compiling PLEG data the whole point of this week's tasks is fairly obvious - statistics tell a story all their own which provides necessary background material (and often justification) to various projects, etc.
I count myself lucky, I guess, in that I feel comfortable with this scenario - I've used Survey Monkey to create evaluation forms for training I've presented to library staff, I've replied to other surveys which have been created using Survey Monkey, I've analysed Google Analytics data and been impressed with the picture it provides and the ease of use, I've gotten to the point where it's second nature to demand some sort of evaluation tool for every online service we provide. I use Google Alerts.
This is something of an odd week for me then in regards to some of the tasks we're being asked to complete - mmm, done that one, got that one, have two of those...... I like that though - makes me feel like I'm on the right track and that I have realised and accepted the importance, the cleverness, of evaluation tools - even on my blog.

I suppose I also like the idea that whilst I may not be learning anything terribly "new" to me and have very little to complete in regards to any of the suggested activities, there is still that sense of validation in my attitude to evaluation and the way I already use it within my work. This week has managed to make me feel good about me - thankyou.
