Welcome to the IEPEC Evaluation Library

 

In 1985 IEPEC began cataloging papers and posters from our conference proceedings.  Today our new and updated online library contains over 1800 resource documents searchable on our website.  You can use our library to track the evolution of evaluation approaches and techniques, spark ideas for new work, and avoid re-inventing the wheel as you embark on your own evaluation work.  All papers were peer-reviewed, presented at our conference and then, and as allowed by the authors, entered into our library.  Material contained in the papers may be reproduced if the appropriate citations are included and credit is given to the Conference and the authors. Citations should be shown as:

Author, Paper Title, International Energy Program Evaluation Conference, Date.

Example: Dr. Jane Doe, Counting on Energy Programs: It’s Why Evaluation Matters, International Energy Program Evaluation Conference,  2010.

Search tips:

1. Phrases not in quotes will find documents with any of the words searched.
Example: Search for best practices finds all documents with the word “best” or the word “practices,” or both.

2. Use quotes to search for an exact phrase.
Example: Search for “best practices” finds only documents containing the phrase “best practices”.

3. Words and names require exact spelling.
Example: Search for “best practices” finds different documents than a search for “best practice”.

4. The use of wildcards (asterisks) or Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) are not supported.

5.  Selecting years to search:  The default is all years if you do not select a specific year or years to search.
