Example Goals and Objectives
Goal 1: Expand and enhance public and staff access to library and electronic information resources through our website.
Objectives:
Replace the library’s web server and software by August of 2010.
Form a web committee comprised of representatives from each department by January 2009 to evaluate resources that should be included in the site and to make a schedule to routinely update these resources.
The outreach coordinator will develop marketing materials to promote the site and aim to increase traffic to the site by 20% after six months.
The library manager will establish a list of website competencies for staff and will offer two training sessions to familiarize staff with the resources on the library’s site by March 2009.
Goals and Objectives should be SMART
The acronym stands for:
Specific – Be clear about what needs to be done. Someone other than the person who wrote the plan should be able to clearly see the intended technology path and what will need to be done to be successful.
Measurable – Refer to specific measurements to gauge success. Use details like how many, an expected percentage increase in usage or rate of participation to establish a measurable success rate.
Attainable – Are there sufficient resources, staff time, and budget to achieve goal/objective? When referencing staff resources, state the position in the library that will be responsible for completing the task so that a clear picture can develop about the amount of work that will be delegated.
Relevant – Does the objective support the goal and does the goal support the library’s mission? The projects and activities that the library undertakes should be in direct support of the mission.
Time-bound – When should the objective be completed or measured?
Writing in the SMART style helps to ensure that expectations are clear from the beginning and to keep the plan on track. However, it is important to remember that things can change! If you can no longer achieve the goals set out in your plan, document those challenges or barriers and explain why things were changed.
