Linking Impact and Advocacy
• Evidence of impact is more convincing to stakeholders than statistics alone
• Advocacy needs robust data and well documented stories in order to be credible and trustworthy
• Evidence of impact helps sustain momentum, funding, and political support, when well communicated (targeted advocacy)

• How did you find out your community needs?
• What data (if any) was collected?
• What impact should be measured and for whom is this data intented?

Perception Study – Ghana
• Over 70% of people interviewed perceive public libraries as spaces for books and study rather than as dynamic institutions focused on community development needs.
![Page 37: Session Goals Defining communication, awareness raising and advocacy for libraries Learning to develop advocacy goal for solving your library’s problem](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110319/56649c525503460f948fbec2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Perception Study – Ghana
• There is agreement that two of the major challenges facing public libraries are lack of funding and technology. This agreement, coupled with positive feeling toward public libraries, presents fertile ground for advocacy for support to modernize public libraries, to expand and diversify public library services, and to secure their future sustainability.
![Page 38: Session Goals Defining communication, awareness raising and advocacy for libraries Learning to develop advocacy goal for solving your library’s problem](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110319/56649c525503460f948fbec2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Perception Study – Ghana
• A typical user is likely to be a young single male from a middle class background aged between 16 and 30. 72% of users are men. 95% are aged between 16 and 30. 80% are students. Only 28% of library users are women.
![Page 39: Session Goals Defining communication, awareness raising and advocacy for libraries Learning to develop advocacy goal for solving your library’s problem](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110319/56649c525503460f948fbec2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Perception Study – Ghana
• Library technology services and librarians’ skills to provide them are limited. – Only 10% of users are using computers or the Internet in
public libraries in Ghana. – Just under 60% of libraries have computers, but these
are mainly for the operations of the library and not for – users. Only 24% of libraries surveyed have computers for
users. – A significant number of librarians (37%) feel they do not
have sufficient technology skills to offer ICT-related services and computer training.

Social Media Examples
Facebook is a popular social networking tool with more than 600 million users worldwide. On Facebook, it is important to keep comment fresh, interesting, and engaging to attract and keep fans.
Twitter is a “micro blog” that encourages posting frequent but brief (up to 140 characters) messages. Twitter is best used for sharing news and quick updates on our organization – you can shorten links to articles by using a site like bit.ly to more easily stay within the character limit.
YouTube is a great way to share videos that relate to your organization. By setting up a page on YouTube you can post and tag videos that are relevant to your audience.

Media
![Page 70: Session Goals Defining communication, awareness raising and advocacy for libraries Learning to develop advocacy goal for solving your library’s problem](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110319/56649c525503460f948fbec2/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Dont’s
• Don’t lie – EVER.
• Don’t say “ No Comment” – EVER.
• Don’t improvise, don’t speculate, and don’t guess. Good reporters check facts, if you are wrong, your credibility will be destroyed.
![Page 71: Session Goals Defining communication, awareness raising and advocacy for libraries Learning to develop advocacy goal for solving your library’s problem](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110319/56649c525503460f948fbec2/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Dont’s
• Don’t try to put a comment “off the record” after you have said it.
• Don’t be unresponsive.
• Don’t make news until you have in hand the information to go with it.
![Page 72: Session Goals Defining communication, awareness raising and advocacy for libraries Learning to develop advocacy goal for solving your library’s problem](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110319/56649c525503460f948fbec2/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Dont’s
• Don’t make an announcement and then later prepare a press release and fact sheets. If you have the material prepared for a press conference, you can spend your time after an announcement explaining it to the press.
• Don’t cover up. If you lie or cover up, you lose your credibility.
• Don’t avoid reporters’ phone calls.
