Surveys.

Mrs. Redmond's Student Satisfaction Survey - Survey Monkey
This survey was made on Survey Monkey, which is a free survey tool I will use to send surveys to faculty, parent, community, and student emails or. Because Survey Monkey gives the survey its own page, I could also post the survey link in school newsletters, bulletin boards, and anywhere else where my clientele will see it. It would a paperless and very convenient way for me to garner opinions without inconveniencing anyone. For community members, I could determine how the community uses libraries, how many libraries the community has access to (so that I can start connecting to those libraries to work together toward fulfilling the community's needs), and how the community uses or would like to use my LMC. For parents, I would ask them how they view their child's use of the library and what I can do to better their child's learning experience in the school. For students, as I demonstrated in the survey linked above, I would ask them to tell me how they use the LMC, when they use it, what services they use or would like to see, and how I could make the collection suit their needs better. For faculty, I would use much the same the format as I used for the students except that I would ask my colleagues to talk about my collaborations with them. Overall, this would be a great tool to use if I needed input from anyone in the school or community.

Faculty User Technology Survey - University of Minnesota
This survey essentially asks for input on what technologies faculty members believe are most important for the LMC to dedicate resources towards, most important for classroom success, and most important in implementing certain teaching techniques. I would use Survey Monkey to adjust this survey to fit the needs of my school before I sent it out to faculty. Because technology is a huge part of my job, I would want to know exactly what my colleagues think and know about technology so that I can know exactly how to help them.

"Guidelines for Performance-Based Library Media Specialist Evaluation" - Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
This is an incredibly useful document to have in my handbook. This 56 page PDF document provides all the documents an LMS in Missouri would need to be evaluated by his or her self and administration. While my district might already have a document like this in place, I would use the self-reflection on pages 42 and 43 at the end of every school year to reassess myself and take note of how I have changed, although I would definitely add a question about which faculty/staff relationships I have built and still need to build and a question about what kind of leadership activities I was involved in that year and how I would like to improve that effort next year. In this document, there is also an activity reflection sheet I would use, professional and improvement development plans I would utilize, and evaluation reports that my colleagues could use to evaluate my performance.

Volunteer Exit Survey - Norfolk Public Library, VA
Volunteers should definitely have a voice in the LMP as well as all of the patrons who utilize it because they have had the opportunity to see how the LMP runs from an objective viewpoint. The things they have to say could be very fundamental to the identification of changes that should be made to the program. I would offer a survey to them at the end of either their volunteering experience or the end of the school year. In the survey, I would ask them questions about how useful their experience was and I would ask them to evaluate my training and utilization of them. This particular survey does a great job of encouraging the volunteer to think about his or her whole experience. I would use this with both adults and students, although I would tone it down and make it sound more user friendly than critical for the students. In the case of students, and some adults, I would attach a reflection addendum of my own upon their request, supplying my own answers to the questions about them, so that it could be used if the volunteer were looking to get hired or become a volunteer someplace else. Communication is really important in a place where information sharing is the key reason that place exists, so getting input from volunteers would be very important in strengthening the community the place fosters.
