What can libraries do to assess themselves? How does a library assess itself when it has limited ability to do so as it has limited control of the software it uses to promote itself?
- The most obvious way for a library to assess itself is through usage. Every website should have information on visitors who have viewed the site.
- It would be good for a library to have the ability for its users to comment. A library can review all of the different meaningful assessments that have something to say about the social software used.
- Libraries can put out surveys for patrons who come to the library about usage on the social software sites. They can answer whether using the social site was a good experience, whether it was instrumental in whether or not they come for a library program.
- Libraries determine the ease of use of the software they are using by surveying the people responsible for using the social software.
- Libraries can monitor review sites to see whether they are getting positive or negative feedback on these review sites.
