Measurable Outcome(s)

Both outcomes for this project were achieved. The first was to fill a gap in our collections with reels that presently were not available within our holdings to patrons or staff. By purchasing these reels, we have achieved that outcome. The second outcome was to create organizational efficiency. Staff previously needed to visit the Red Wing Public Library to complete some research requests as well as regular columns for publication. Since the acquisition of these reels, staff have only needed to visit the Red Wing Public Library infrequently and can complete more research in-house, making it more efficient to get their work completed.
