evaluation design. You are not required to collect data and implement the research to evaluate the
program.
Your Final Project will be submitted in the form of a 15 (not including the title or reference pages),
double-spaced, APA-formatted paper. You must complete the following elements:
•
Create and include a title page with your name, the course name, and the title of the research
project.

of the program, problem, or policy, and explain why conducting this research to evaluate the
program, problem, or policy is important to this organization.
•
Describe the research question(s) and hypothesis(es). Clearly articulate them so that you would be
able to answer the research questions using the design you develop.
•
Explain the evaluation design (i.e., descriptive, associational, causal) that is most appropriate to
evaluate the program, problem, or policy. Justify the use of the evaluation design and explain how it
can answer the research question(s).

Running head: LEXINGTON PUBLIC LIBRARY
Lexington Public Library Surveillance Policy

LEXINGTON PUBLIC LIBRARY

Lexington Public Library
The Lexington Public Library comprises of six library branches that serve the city of
Lexington and the surrounding central Kentucky counties. The branches are The Village Branch,
Beaumont, Eastside, Northside, Tate’s Creek branches and the largest of them all- the downtown
Lexington Central library. Through its services, the library meets the needs of more than 300,000
members of the public of all ages. Over the years the literature material has been updated, and
currently, it has over 560,000 items which are a combination of a wide variety of books,
audiobooks, e-books, magazines, movies, music and much more (Lexington Public Library,
2017).
The facility managed to serve roughly 2 million visitors last year, and at the same time
maintains an online presence that saw it get over 8 million visitors. Additionally, the library uses
a mobile application that was used over 6 million of its members. Despite the great increase and
availability of a wide array of digital material, print formats were still preferred taking about 59
percent, with the DVDs preferred at 22 percent, while the audiobooks and CDs took up 9 and 4
percent respectively (Lexington Public Library, 2016).
The organization’s vision is lifetime connection and dedication to the community while
the mission is in the connection, stimulation of ideas and changing of people’s lives. The main
values are excellence the in the type of service that it offers, equality in the way they treat both
visitors and their staff. It also focuses on integrity which is aimed at maintaining the trust of the
community that it serves, stewardship and finally passion. The strategic goals are in six main
areas of access, education, stewardship, culture, space, and inclusivity (Lexington Public
Library, 2017).

Video surveillance policy
The policy that would benefit from a detailed analysis is done on video surveillance.
Video surveillance has many benefits to any organization from a small retail shop to facilities
that are massive. Some of the advantages of video surveillance are that it helps in enhancement
of security through deterrence, it also helps the law enforcement in the apprehension of
criminals, and it can also serve the purpose of exonerating someone that as wrongfully charged
and so much more (Randall and Newell, 2014). At Lexington library, video surveillance is used.
However, such usage requires a policy to guide how it is operated and also enforcement of
various rules that revolve around such practices.
The main purpose of the policy is in maintaining the safety and security of the
environment and in extension the customers and staff. The video equipment has been stationed at
various locations within the Lexington library facilities and is always running. At the entrance to
the main building, clear signs have been fixed to warn the public of the security camera that is in
operation with and around the premises. The surveillance system helps Lexington Library be
able to keep the environment secure, the organization’s assets, the property, the customers, and
the staff members. There are operation procedures in place that guide the usage of the footage in
line with the existing institutional law and those of the local authorities.
Research Question
a) What are the benefits of having a video surveillance policy to Lexington Library
systems? What improvements or changes can be made to the video surveillance policy of
Lexington Library systems to keep to the organization’s strategic goals as well as address
the privacy and legal concerns when it comes to video surveillance?

Evaluation design and validity and reliability
The evaluation design strategy will be in the form of qualitative and quantitative analysis
of available information on the matter of surveillance. That will take the form of a thorough
analysis of documents; digital content such emails that may be available in the public domain or
by requesting for them in line with the freedom of information laws. Additionally, various
stakeholders will also use semi-structured interviews when carrying out the analysis. The
individuals that will be engaged in the interviews will be the once that were a part of in the
decision making the process at various stages of the creation of the policy, installation of the
equipment, their management, and any other activities related to the surveillance process.
By using the qualitative and quantitative strategies stated above will help in gathering
information will provide more detailed information on the library systems and the surveillance
policies that may be in place, and the reasons behind the changes that have been implemented
and also those that have led to policy changes in the past. The qualitative techniques such as
interviews will provide direct feedback and also allow for the interviewer to gauge the feedback,
get more information that would have otherwise have been left out; they are also able to notice
any non-verbal responses that can only be possible through a face to face analysis (Johnson,
2014). By studying material and documents, the researchers will be in a position of gathering
more information and also in the greater level of detail. By interviewing the stakeholders, I will
be able to get first-hand information relating to various issues about the surveillance policy and
the strategies that have been applied.
