Evaluation
Current Evaluation Methods
Stories from the Web® is evaluated by the children and young
people who use it through online feedback forms. We read all the feedback
sent in to us and make changes as a result of this. Have a look at the
comments made about Stories from the Web® in Feedback in
the age 0-7 area, Feedback
Frenzy on the age 7-11 area and in Tell
Us on the age 11-14 area.
Libraries who subscribe to Stories from the Web® feed in their comments
via Quarterly Evaluation forms which can be submitted online. They also
have access to evaluation forms to collect comments from children attending
Stories from the Web sessions, and their parent and carers.
DCMS/Wolfson Public Libraries Challenge Fund 2000/2001

child’s involvement.

The Research Period
During the research period funded by the Museums, Libraries and Archives
council (MLA) the impact on the children involved, their parents and the
libraries was recorded and evaluated. The project monitored children’s
learning patterns, staff skills and morale and the way in which libraries
were perceived by users and the local media. The number of books borrowed
by each child attending the Stories from the Web® clubs was also monitored
in order to assess how the project has impacted on their reading habits.
