We've made it through the first half of 2024! Here at Springshare, we're looking ahead to all the new features coming soon to your Springy Tools, but first, we're taking a moment to catch up on the past few months. The Springy Team has been busy! We hosted two Learning Labs with outstanding guest librarian presenters. We ran not one, not two, but five webinars about our big data tool, LibInsight. If all of that sounds great, you're in the right place - we're rounding up those webinars (and more!) into one great big mid-year wrap-up for your on-demand viewing pleasure.
Learning Labs: Part Guest Speaker, Part Training Session
Sold Out Events with LibCal & Patron Point
LibCal and Patron Point took center stage in this Learning Lab with Jill Yott from the Indian Prairie Public Library! Jill discussed how she uses these Springy Tools to support her library's "sold out" events and weekly newsletter with over 28K subscribers! Then, we took a tour of LibCal and Patron Point so you’ll be ready to boost your own programming and outreach efforts.

Leveraging NPS for Continuous Improvement
In our second Learning Lab of 2024, Sara Hull joined us from SUNY Empire Online Library to talk about how her library has used NPS surveys with LibAnswers to improve their reference services and to align library services with objectives from the university's strategic plan. After Sara's presentation, Springy Cate demonstrated how to set up NPS for your LibAnswers site.
