The University of Hull conducted an in-house evaluation of their Summon discovery tool to assess its impact on resource discovery and information literacy (IL) support. The evaluation was done in stages using various methods and targeting different groups. It focused on usability, functionality, user needs, and how discovery behaviors changed. The evaluation informed IL delivery strategies and helped the library decide to continue using Summon long-term. This presentation describes how the evaluation evolved over two years, how in-house resources were used, and how IL support adapted based on the results.

University of Liverpool case study Developing Inclusive CulturesSarra_Saffron_Powell
The University of Liverpool is committed to ensuring that all students have access to a high quality, world-class education and remains determined to further develop an inclusive culture that is of benefit to all staff and students. Inclusive practice is institutionally defined as “acknowledging people with differing approaches to life, work and study as members of diverse communities. The evolution of an inclusive approach is underpinned by change processes that impact strategic and day to day activities across local, national and international contexts. The University of Liverpool aims to establish a culture where diversity is considered a distinct strength and viewed as a valuable resource for all, thus promoting education as a transformative process” (adapted from Booth and Ainscow, 2000).

Using theories of change to evaluate information literacy initiatives: LILAC ...Pamela McKinney
Theory of Change (ToC) is a participative approach to evaluating the impact of projects, programmes and initiatives. Librarians and information professionals engaged in change processes, development projects and research studies can use ToC to generate evaluation data and articulate the impact of their activities, working closely with stakeholders such as students, academic staff, teachers and other professionals. The ToC process generates new understandings of how and why project successes have been achieved, and can form the basis of justifications for current and future funding. ToC has been widely used to evaluate the success and impact of projects in a variety of sectors (often community and public sector initiatives), and in educational development (Hart, Dierks-O’Brien & Powell, 2009) including Information Literacy initiatives (McKinney, 2014; McKinney, Jones & Turkington, 2011).
McKinney was part of the core team facilitating ToC evaluation of projects in the multi-million pound Centre for Inquiry Based Learning in the Arts and Social Sciences (CILASS) project (McKinney, 2014) and Webber was a stakeholder involved in two projects and a CILASS Academic Fellow. In the version of the ToC process used in CILASS projects, stakeholders are asked to identify the drivers for change in the current situation; the longer term impact they envisage the project will have; the intermediate outcomes that the project is expected to achieve; activities that would need to be undertaken to achieve outcomes and enabling factors and resources required to support the project (Hart, Dierks-O’Brien & Powell, 2009). Stakeholders collaboratively design a Theory of Change poster that defines key project indicators and develops a causal narrative between project activities and outcomes. A plan and evaluation framework is then developed from these indicators, and stakeholders design data collection instruments. Connell & Kubisch (1998) have identified that a good ToC should be plausible, doable and testable.
McKinney and Webber will bring their extensive experience of facilitating workshops, including previous workshops on ToC .
Objectives and outcomes for the Workshop
Objectives will be: (1) To explain ToC, its value and application (2) To enable participants to plan how they could use ToC to improve practice and impact.
By the end of the workshop participants will (1) understand what ToC involves; (2) have learnt the key steps in facilitating a ToC approach; and (3) will have identified how ToC could be used in their own workplace

Generating a Domain Specific Inspection Evaluation Method through an Adaptive...Waqas Tariq
The growth of the Internet and related technologies has enabled the development of a new breed of dynamic websites and applications that are growing rapidly in use and that have had a great impact on many businesses. These websites need to be continuously evaluated and monitored to measure their efficiency and effectiveness, to assess user satisfaction, and ultimately to improve their quality. Nearly all the studies have used Heuristic Evaluation (HE) and User Testing (UT) methodologies, which have become the accepted methods for the usability evaluation of User Interface Design (UID); however, the former is general, and unlikely to encompass all usability attributes for all website domains. The latter is expensive, time consuming and misses consistency problems. To address this need, new evaluation method is developed using traditional evaluations (HE and UT) in novel ways.
The lack of a methodological framework that can be used to generate a domain-specific evaluation method, which can then be used to improve the usability assessment process for a product in any chosen domain, represents a missing area in usability testing. This paper proposes an adapting framework and evaluates it by generating an evaluation method for assessing and improving the usability of a product, called Domain Specific Inspection (DSI), and then analysing it empirically by applying it on the educational domain. Our experiments show that the adaptive framework is able to build a formative and summative evaluation method that provides optimal results with regard to the identification of comprehensive usability problem areas and relevant usability evaluation method (UEM) metrics, with minimum input in terms of the cost and time usually spent on employing UEMs.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

DIY: in-house evaluation to inform and improve IL delivery - Michael Latham & Mike Ewen.
1. DIY: in-house evaluation to inform and improve IL delivery
Michael Latham, University of Hull, m.latham@hull.ac.uk
Mike Ewen, University of Hull, michael.ewen@hull.ac.uk
The University of Hull launched it’s use of the Summon discovery tool in September 2012 (originally as a one
year pilot). The resource was introduced with a ‘soft’ launch and little formal promotion was engaged. This
afforded the time for library staff to fully assess the tool and it’s impact on resource discovery and IL support.
Evaluation was key to the utilisation of Summon at the University of Hull and to the decision-making process
regarding it’s medium- to long-term use. In turn, the use of a discovery tool presented significant challenges in
terms of IL delivery strategies. Outsourcing this evaluation work was an option given it’s importance. However,
although there are advantages to third party evaluation, as user consultation would be a key component of the
process it was decided that in-house evaluation would provide the opportunity to listen to users directly, and to
build relationships with our stakeholders, whilst also working within financial constraints. Evaluation was carried
out in stages, using a variety of means, and targeting a number of different constituencies. It focused on usability,
functionality, information needs, and impact on information-seeking behaviour.
This presentation explores how the in-house evaluation of Summon as an information discovery tool informed
and helped develop IL support and delivery at the University of Hull. It describes how the evaluation process
developed from the 2012/13 academic year to the 2013/14 session; how in-house expertise and resources were
utilised; how different vested interests were engaged; and fundamentally, how IL delivery strategies evolved as a
result. As such, the presentation will share practical experiences and invite feedback from attendees.
