Infuriating but essential
By Bernard L. Woodhams
Actually the same could be said of the man himself. The evaluation thesaurus is difficult to define and place. It is not so much a thesaurus or dictionary as a series of mini (and not so mini) essays from one of evaluation's leading philosophers.
Michael Scriven has strong views about the place, role and requirements of evaluation, and he uses this book, amongst other things, to lecture on these subjects. The book starts with an extended introduction to (Scriven's view of) the place of evaluation within the academic world, much of which is focused on an over-extended geographical metaphor of academic disciplines. The point of this is an attempt to stake elevaluation's claim to independence as a "trans-discipline" servicing other disciplines in a similar fashion to statistics. (Despite this declaration of independence, Scriven himself is employed within a School of Education)
More useful are the entries themselves, which alert readers to issues such as the "Harvard fallacy" (the assumption that a programme must be good because of its outcomes, without considering any advantages that it might derive, for example from having exceptional student intakes) and the fact that evaluators cannot avoid making value judgements.
You do not have to agree with Scriven, but you need to address the issues he raises if you are serious about evaluation.

A must-have for EVERY serious evaluator! Informative and entertaining
By E. Jane Davidson
This may be a 1991 publication but it's still a crucially important addition to any serious evaluator's bookshelf.
An added bonus is that fantastic Scrivenesque humor that will give you a chuckle when you stumble across some of the all-time classic entries. One of my favorites:
TERROR An effect frequently induced by goal-free evaluation (sometimes by the *thought* of it) in most of the cast of evaluation actors -- evaluators, program managers, evaluees. The "terror test" is the use of this awful threat to weed out the incompetent. Since everyone uses goal-free evaluation whenever they buy anything for themselves, it is not a good sign of their concern for consumers that they think it inappropriate for program evaluation.
Got to love it! Get this book!!!
[Those wanting user-friendly "subtitles" on some of the more difficult concepts may, like Michael Scriven's graduate students, find this book useful: Evaluation Methodology Basics: The Nuts and Bolts of Sound Evaluation :) ]
