Interactive Takeaways: 

We will make the case that statistically-driven assessment is not always the best way to analyze responses and the larger a data set is the harder it can be to meaningfully analyze. We will make a case for building meaningful partnerships which account for library users' needs and contain measurable outcomes for benchmarking through a discussion of what is lost when you insist on scale for scale's sake.
Participants gain a toolkit to takeaway that provides justifiable and legitimate reasons for why scaling efforts are not always necessary. It will leave you refreshed (REFRESHED! love this) and prepared to justify your efforts even when they do not scale.
Participants will see examples of successful projects that did not need to scale and understood how to describe these successes.
