\"Text:The need for library advocacy is clear. But it\u2019s not always easy to tell how effective it has been.<\/p>\n

Changes in opinion or levels of support are not always easy to count.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s far from impossible!<\/p>\n

When you set goals, it\u2019s worth taking a few minutes at least to look at how you know if you\u2019re going in the right direction.<\/p>\n

So for our 46th<\/sup> 10-Minute Library Advocate, think about how to measure success.<\/p>\n

What indicators are there of whether you have reached your long-term goal (Exercise #7<\/a>) or your milestones (Exercise #44<\/a>)?<\/p>\n

You could use analytics on social media, or count quotes in the media.<\/p>\n

You can simply ask people, or use anecdotal evidence!<\/p>\n

You can find out more about measurement in the SDG Storytelling Manual<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Good luck!<\/p>\n
