Program Description:
In the fall of 2023, the authors began developing a new communication tool inspired by the idea of a "Zero Based Budget." Simply called the "Budget Proposal," this tool enabled the authors to put forth a positive and constructive vision for journal collections at their library, including a wish-list and an expression of one-time needs to reduce and transform the print collection. This project led to progress on other goals, such as the development of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for journals and journal packages, as well as the development of one-sheeters, or brief reports, to improve how the authors communicate the value provided by the library for specific programs. The authors demonstrated and discussed the Budget Proposal, the new KPIs and related materials.
Learning Outcomes:
Attendees will learn about a method for collection review and outreach.
Attendees will be provided with ideas for collection outreach to administration.
Attendees will learn about new measures, or key performance indicators, for comparing journals packages.
Attendees will be provided example "one-sheeters," or brief reports to support communication to departments and administration.
Attendees will shown example data visualizations for brief reports, including a new approach we call "novelty visualizations."
