	In this very practical workshop we want to look at the information and tools already available or easily accessible to help show the effect or impact that eIFL as a whole and its individual consortia are having. Inspired by the achievements of other eIFL consortia and supported by input from eIFL centrally, by the end of the workshop you will be confidently planning how to collect and use the impact data that will most influence your members and other stakeholders to support you more strongly.
