Counting on results : new tools for outcome-based evaluation of public libraries
-
Abstract
-
The Counting on Results (COR) goals were to develop and demonstrate the potential utility of new tools for outcome-based evaluation of public library services. The project developed these tools and demonstrated their use by 45 public libraries representing 20 states and all four major regions of the United States (i.e., Northeast, South, Midwest, West). In addition to reporting data on conventional library service outputs, the project generated data on the observed library activities of more than 40,000 patrons and reports of the outcomes of library services from over 5,500 patrons. Thus, this project completed the largest, most comprehensive, and most detailed multi-state data collection of this type attempted to date.

Many people do not realize how common it is for children to suffer a brain injury. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability among children ages 1 to 19 years in the United States. Each year, approximately 40 percent of TBIs in the United States occur in the pediatric population (ages 0-19 years). It is estimated that nearly 145,000 children aged 0-19 years are currently living with long lasting, significant alterations in social, behavioral, physical and cognitive functioning following a TBI. significant discrepancy between the incidence of TBI and the identification of children with TBI for special education services continues to exist.
