Book Description
I became a librarian because of my interest in how reading affects people, how it can lead to insights and help people transform their lives...library services and materials help them in their efforts to change and grow. Outcome measurement can assess how well libraries do that.—Rhea Joyce Rubin from the Preface Library services and programs that not only meet goals but can also demonstrate these results are more likely to secure repeat funding. By evaluating and presenting outcomes, libraries can document the positive work they do in a concrete way and gain financial support. According to Planning for Results expert Rubin, outcome measurement lets libraries evaluate how they affect their users' quality of life. This latest addition to the PLA-sponsored Results Series uses familiar task breakdowns along with key terms in a step-by-step, service-oriented format so that readers can master the outcome measurement process as they: Enhance library programs using evaluation techniques Use and customize the 14 step-by-step workforms to address unique needs Gather and interpret statistically accurate data to demonstrate outcomes Measure, evaluate, and present outcomes to attract funding Applying these concepts in examples and in two running case studies, an Internet class for seniors, and a teen mother-tutoring program brings the model to life. The "Toolkit" includes tips on creating evaluations, coding data, and selecting a sample.

Book Description
Sanjay Khan Chowdhury arrives at a small village in India severing all ties with his before-life and self-indulges in the existence of a recluse. His placid life continues thus until he becomes the recipient of a message from the space. What follows thereafter is a drama of alternate hope and disappointment. A freelancer awaits a crackling ‘story’; a self-proclaimed spiritual leader longs for her moment of triumph; knowledgeable scientists oscillate between semi-belief and dismissal of Sanjay’s message as a silly prank of a freak outcast. Set in mid-twenty first century India, this is a relationship tale laced with Science fiction.

Idolatry in the Pentateuch
Author: Tracy J. McKenzie
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1606086073
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 149
Book Description
Idolatry in the Pentateuch addresses both the manner in which the Pentateuch was produced and how theological intentions can be discerned from the texts that constitute it. McKenzie attempts to read the final shape of the Pentateuch while not ignoring the diachronic complexities within its pages. Using a compositional approach to the Pentateuch, he establishes his methodology, analyzes several idolatry-related texts, and traces the theological intentions through an inner-textual strategy. Moreover, McKenzie briefly considers the history of interpretation through the last few centuries and discusses the state of Old Testament studies as he understands it.

Analysis of Senior Management Teams that Have Demonstrated a Proclivity for Growth
Author: David Thomas
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1445742330
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
This book is a PhD thesis that is highly relevant to anyone involved in management. It identifies and analyses in depth the key constructs of leadership, teamwork and enterprise that are vital for a successful 'growth' business. The focus is on leadership, enterprise and the make-up of senior management teams, but the research outcomes can equally be applied to any management team environment, such as committees, working groups, panels, or administrative bodies. Critically, an unsuitable leader will almost guarantee failure, so having the ability to recognise leaders that are capable of delivering success is crucial. This book is invaluable for those people who need to understand how leadership, teamwork and enterprise interact to create dynamic and highly successful management teams.
