I had the pleasure of teaching a workshop at the Manitoba Libraries Conference 2009: Future Generations, Evolving Services in Winnipeg, Manitoba on May 7th, 2009.
My thanks to the audience who threw themselves enthusiastically into my “Prepare to Defend Your(site)! Internet Performance Measurement” workshop. I enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about challenges faced by libraries in the digital world as we were able to divide the group into three segments:
- institutional libraries such as University of Manitoba library
- rural libraries such as Lac Du Bonnet regional library and
- special libraries such as the Manitoba Association of Library Technicians (otherwise known as MALT)
In addition, I’d like to thank the Manitoba Libraries Association conference programming committee for the flawless organization of those of us involved in the event and the event itself. In particular, I’d like to thank Kerry Macdonald Pat Routledge and Jo Ann Richling.
So glad to meet you all, and to have the chance to see a bit more of my Canada!

Today’s public sector organizations are operating environments of increasing scrutiny and accountability of expenditures and are seeking practical ways to show results not only to funding sources but to the Canadian public as a whole. In particular, organizations need evidence that their Internet marketing and communications activities are in fact aligned with larger policy and program objectives.
What do organizations need to do to develop practical and standard frameworks against which they can measure website objectives and in turn, enable them to report consistently on progress and success to management?
To learn more attend MARCOM 2007 in Ottawa, when Kelly Kubrick of Online Authority and Darlene Moore of Drive Traffic Inc will discuss how you can:
- Develop Internet Performance Measurement frameworks
- Articulate Internet-specific outcomes and indicators
- Show the results of your Internet Investments
