The WPLC User / Non-User Survey Workgroup is excited to share that the following people have been awarded for their research projects through the WPLC User / Non-User Research Program!
- Matt Heindel, Technical Services Coordinator, Monona Public LIbrary
- Larry Oathout, Director, Portage County Public Library
Their projects seek to gather community input on issues common among public libraries: assessing library building space needs, developing and growing new services, planning for and implementing makerspaces or digital media labs, understanding how and how long people use the library, and more.
Their research will be conducted over the summer and the results will be available in the fall. That data and all the materials used to gather it will be shared with the WPLC community on the WPLC website and through the WPLC Announcements List.
In addition, stay tuned for information about the final User / Non-User Research Program webinar on data analysis with Josh Morrill of Morrill Solutions Research. This webinar will be held in September and will be free and open to all members of the WPLC community.
Congratulations to Matt and Larry!
