So Much More: The Economic Impact of Toronto Public Library on the City of To...Hamilton Public Library
This presentation to the Federation of Ontario Public Libraries (FOPL) describes the results of the economic impact study done for Toronto Public Library by the Martin Prosperity Institute.
The Economic Impact of Libraries, part of CLA 2014 workshop, "Driving Change for Community Impact". Presented by Kimberly Silk, University of Toronto and Elizabeth Glass, Toronto Public Library. Silk begins with a look at different types of impact studies and then introduces how the Toronto Public Library engaged the Martin Prosperity Institute at the University of Toronto in 2013 to study of the economic impact and benefits of the library in its community. TPL shares the findings of the study, discusses the importance of demonstrating the economic benefits of public libraries to key stakeholders including city councils, library board members, and the local community, and provides tips for others wanting to show the impact of their libraries.

L-Index: Designing a New Method for Measuring Library Impact in CanadaHamilton Public Library
Presented at OLA Super Conference 2016
In recent years, libraries around the world have been conducting impact studies, predominantly economic impact studies, to communicate their value to stakeholders. While these studies are useful, they often exclude the social, educational and cultural impacts that libraries make within their communities. To address this gap, Dr. Mary Cavanagh, Dr. Bill Irwin and Kimberly Silk are collaborating to develop the L-Index, a library evaluation methodology and toolkit designed to aid libraries in assessing their economic, social, cultural and educational impact. The team will present their work to date, and invite feedback from session delegates.

The Integrated Digital Scholarship Ecosystem (IDSE) is an initiative to advance research in Canada by understanding the complexity of the digital landscape and by seeking opportunities to align key stakeholders and providers around a series of shared objectives. The ecosystem combines capabilities and infrastructure beyond content t seamlessly harness the work of diverse organizations that contribute to digital scholarship.
Strategic Metrics Workshop: Computers in Libraries Conference, April 2015Hamilton Public Library
In recent years, libraries of all kinds have begun producing economic impact studies. While these studies are often useful in demonstrating impact at the time of publication, data planning and collection over the long term is much more powerful, informing short- and long-term strategies, prioritization, and decision-making. Join Kim Silk and Bill Irwin to learn how you can use data-driven metrics to in- form your strategic plan over the long term, and determine day-to-day decisions in the short term.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
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.

1. Library Impact Studies:
Lessons Learned
Presented by Kimberly Silk
Data Librarian, Martin Prosperity Institute
Rotman School of Management at the
University of Toronto
2. Agenda
• Overview of TPL “situation”
• TPL study results
• What we learned
• Why we need to go beyond Economic
Impact
• How we might get there
3. TPL: The Situation in 2013
• Toronto Mayor & City Council are almost
entirely fiscally focused
• Council is divided in being supportive or
against the Mayor
4. March 2013:
“At its November, 29, 2012 meeting, the Library Board
passed a motion to undertake a study of the economic
impacts and benefits of Toronto Public Library and the role of
public libraries in economic development. At the City Council
meeting, January 15-17, 2013 Council passed a motion to
request that the Chief Librarian prepare a cost-benefit
analysis of the Open Hours Policy and the economic impact
of Library services and provide a report to the City Manager
for review and report prior to the 2014 budget process.”
“As a result of these motions, the Toronto Public Library
(TPL) is seeking to demonstrate in economic terms that the
library offers programs and activities which enhance the
conditions for business and investment, while creating a
better quality of life for all residents.”
Request for Proposal for a Study on the Economic Value of the
Toronto Public Library to Toronto, March 2013
5. TPL Goals
• TPL must respond to Council’s request to
conduct an economic impact study,
specifically addressing economic impact and
the open hours policy.
• TPL must demonstrate clearly the positive
economic impact of TPL to the City of
Toronto.
• Report must be delivered by December 2013,
in time for 2014 budget discussions.
• TPL must influence the councilors to vote in
favour of an increase in their annual
6. Outcomes
• In February 2014, Toronto Public Library
adopted the approved operating budget of
$184.17 million; $167.59 million of city
funding, and $16.58 million of other
revenue.
• The net budget represents a 1.4%
increase over the 2013 budget.
10. Impacts: What We’re Learning
• The methodology used in the TPL report
was designed to be transparent and easy
to understand;
• Purposefully clear so that other public
libraries in similar situations (fiscally
threatened) could use the model.
• Several public library systems have used
the model, with good success.
11. Lessons Learned
• Economic is only one, limited, impact
measure.
• Libraries contribute SO MUCH MORE.
12. Expecting More
• Developing better methodologies to go
beyond economic impact
