This series supports the evaluation workshops offered through the Outreach Evaluation Resource Center of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine. The goal of the series is to present step-by-step planning and evaluation methods. Along with providing information about evaluation, each booklet includes a case study and worksheets to help you with your outreach planning. The second booklet, Including Evaluation in Outreach Project Planning, is intended for those who need guidance in designing a good evaluation plan. It discusses how to do the following: 1. Develop an outcomes-based project plan, 2. Develop an outcomes assessment plan, 3. Develop a pre-project assessment plan, and 4. Develop a process assessment plan. By including evaluation in the planning stage, you are committing to doing it and you are more likely to make it integral to the overall project. Conversely, in planning the evaluation you identify outcomes, which in turn help you to carefully assess project activities and resource needs.
