EIFL Public Library Innovation Programme (EIFL-PLIP) Impact Manager Ugne Lipeikaite explains how to look beyond the numbers (how many trainees, how many training sessions) when evaluating library training, and find out more - for example,  

• Are the trainees satisfied with the training?
• What have they learnt?
• How are they using their learning in their work or day-to-day lives?
• What has been the longer term impact of the training?

EIFL-PLIP’s Small Bites: ‘How to evaluate your library’s training programme’ (5 minutes) is one of a series of short videos for public librarians and public library trainers produced by EIFL-PLIP.
