8. I. Putting It Together
“Instead of focusing on what the library program does, evidence-based advocacy focuses on what students learn*…
The modes of advocacy should address issues that emerge from needs assessments**, which are used to establish program goals and objectives. The goals and objectives are articulated in an action plan*** that is, in effect, an instrument of evidence-based advocacy.”
