Developing Logic Model Workshops for Library Staff: Strategies, Challenges and Lessons

Developing Logic Model Workshops for Library Staff: Strategies, Challenges and Lessons

Is there a method to collect input from all library staff when developing and updating a strategic plan that is aligned with the institution’s mission and vision ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard? Developing a valuable and meaningful professional development workshop for library staff and faculty requires innovative strategies and a significant investment in time and resources. Given the importance of strategic planning, the university library acknowledges that including all library staff and faculty in the strategic planning process is crucial to developing and maintaining a meaningful strategic plan. The University of Illinois at Chicago (or “UIC”) Library developed a strategic plan using a logic model to provide a picture of how the program is intended to work. However, it is challenging to develop measurable outcomes based on the input of only a few library staff. The UIC Library came up with an idea to seek their colleagues’ contribution by explaining the basic concept of the logic model so that the strategic plan reflects everyone’s work. This presentation will demonstrate how the UIC Library developed logic model workshops for library staff to encourage their involvement in strategic planning and demonstrate how to apply the logic model to various projects. During this presentation, strategies, challenges, and lessons from the workshops will be shared with the audience.
