 Product evaluations can be extremely time-consuming, making even free trials a potentially costly project. Furthermore, it's essential to understand prior to the trial what a user's or organisation's needs are, vis-a-vis that product. Despite the fact that a systematic approach to trialling products is a valuable professional skill, few resources exist to help define, implement and report on product evaluations.
This report fills that gap by providing a flexible framework for planning and conducting effective product evaluations. By laying out a step-by-step approach, the report helps users understand the purpose of their evaluations, understand their organisational needs, plan a methodology, conduct and report on product trials. Contributors to the report include Pam Foster, editor of VIP http://www.vivaVIP.com/, based on her years of experience conducting product reviews for subscribers.
The included tool kit of 5 hands-on worksheets and activities helps users translate the information into an actionable plan. Appendices also provide guidance and samples for creating needs assessment tools to support an evaluation project, as well as the results of an in-depth product evaluation conducted by a UK agency's information centre in 2006.
The report covers the following:
- Establishing evaluation criteria
- Conducting needs assessments
- Designing review methodology
- Gathering data
- Reporting
The following activities are included in the Product Evaluation Tool Kit:
- Defining evaluation criteria
- Needs assessment
