This book introduces a Program Technology Evaluation Framework for selecting digital technologies for library program evaluation and provides detailed guidance on implementing KoboToolbox for program evaluations. Libraries increasingly rely on monitoring and evaluation to demonstrate impact, improve services, and support evidence-based decision-making. However, selecting appropriate digital technologies for program evaluation remains challenging, particularly for libraries with limited resources and varying levels of evaluation maturity. To address this challenge, the Program Technology Evaluation Framework helps libraries assess and strategically select evaluation technologies based on evaluation needs, library context, and evaluation context. Drawing on real-world implementations, the author provides an in-depth assessment of the Project Outcome Toolkit and KoboToolbox against the Program Technology Evaluation Framework and demonstrates the application of KoboToolbox for immediate and follow-up evaluations of library business support programs. In addition, the book bridges the gap between evaluation theory and practice through practical examples, reusable evaluation resources, reporting templates, and technology selection guidance. The book is intended for librarians, researchers, and practitioners seeking to strengthen evaluation capacity, implement digital evaluation technologies, and make informed technology selection decisions in diverse library environments.
