SCC 2007 Defusing Statistics

Editor's Notes

  1. It’s time to cover what to do when we’re finally ready to take all that information we’ve gathered and do something with it. . .And this is where a lot of us start having second thoughts about this whole assessment thing. This means the dreaded S word—statistics. It’s enough to make ordinarily brave librarians quake in their sensible shoes. Since statistics can be a little overwhelming at times, we’re going to make this as simplistic and non-threatening as possible.
