P95 Process and Outcome Evaluation of the LSU AgCenter SNAP-Ed Program Using Microsoft Dynamics 365
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) encourages healthier eating through education and policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) changes to support access to healthier foods. Collecting and managing data for process and outcome evaluations is challenging for SNAP-Ed implementing agencies (IAs) with variation in direct education and PSE change projects implemented. Several IAs have used the Program Evaluation and Reporting System (PEARS) to gather and manage evaluation data, but this may be cost prohibitive for IAs with smaller budgets. The LSU AgCenter Information Technology (IT) department adapted Microsoft Dynamics 365 to the evaluation needs of the LSU AgCenter SNAP-Ed program. To conduct a process evaluation of direct education and PSE change work conducted by the LSU AgCenter SNAP-Ed program in Federal Fiscal Year 2019-2020 using the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Application. LSU AgCenter IT staff adapted Dynamics to collect the data necessary to report against priority indicators in the SNAP-Ed evaluation framework. IT staff created separate reporting modules for individual direct education contacts, groups of direct education contacts, community partnerships, community coalitions, and PSE changes. SNAP-Ed frontline staff were trained on the reporting system in a series of hands-on, in-person meetings held prior to March 2020. LSU AgCenter staff report direct education contacts, partnerships, coalitions, and PSE changes made in the Microsoft Dynamics application. Data can be disaggregated according to demographic information, location, and implementing staff member, enabling data to be used in performance evaluations and analyses of equity in program access. Feedback about the reporting system was overwhelmingly positive. The system collected data necessary for reporting to state and federal funding agencies. Over the course of FY2020, LSU AgCenter established 502 partnerships, made 6,473 direct education contacts, and 118 PSE changes. The Microsoft Dynamics 365 Application was easily adapted to the evaluation needs of the LSU AgCenter SNAP-Ed program. Process and outcome evaluation data indicated that the LSU AgCenter met its goals for FY2020.

Do we have any resources for state licensing exams? (contractors, horticulture, plumbing, etc.?)
Our PrepSTEP (https://libezp.lib.lsu.edu/login?url=http://www.learningexpresslibrary3…) (formerly known as Learning Express Library) database is probably our best resource for this, though you may want to check with the agencies to ensure the materials are up to date. These materials are generally under the career preparation section on the PrepSTEP homepage. East Baton Rouge Public Library (https://www.ebrpl.com/) also has Learning Express 3.0 that has state test prep material if you have a current EBRPL card. Answered by: Electronic Resources
Are there restrictions on photography and filming inside the LSU Main Library?
While LSUs primary mission is education, LSU Libraries is available on a limited basis for other projects such as the filming of television shows, movies, commercials, and other media as long as it does not interfere with the Libraries primary educational mission and necessary day to day functions. LSU Libraries requires that all photography and/or filming taking place in LSU Library or Hill Memorial Library first adhere to the Film and Video Procedures policy (https://www.lsu.edu/administration/ofa/docs/FilmProceduresWebsite2017.p…) set down by LSUs Office of Finance and Administration. Additionally, projects such as these must be approved by LSU Libraries Director of Communications. If you need further clarification, please submit a ticket (https://askus.lib.lsu.edu/) .
