This book is an accessible guide to the latest thinking on effective library impact evaluation for anyone who wants to gauge the impact of their services or projects on their service users for library advocacy and service development. Although library impact evaluation is evolving, most of the literature focuses on the methods used and on the evaluation findings. There is a dearth of case studies focusing on the evaluation problems presented by libraries, how these problems are addressed and what lessons can be learnt in the process. This book fills that gap by presenting a series of case studies through which the authors draw on current impact evaluation thinking to address a variety of evaluation problems. Doing Library Evaluation complements the authors’ earlier Facet Publishing book Evaluating the Impact of Your Library by showing how the impact evaluation model presented there has been applied to meet a variety of real evaluation challenges. The authors show how they have applied advances in thinking drawn from education and international development evaluation. They also show how progress in programme theory-based evaluation is helping to shape the world of library impact evaluation. The book offers a wide range of case study settings, covering UK public, health, school and academic libraries and the evaluation programme of a national research funding body, as well as international library development programmes funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA). The approaches to library evaluation explored in the case studies encompass:
self-evaluation by library managers
action research conducted by academic library teams
a large-scale market survey of perceptions of public libraries
limited and more developed programme evaluations
application of programme theory-driven approaches to evaluation at national and international levels.
The book will be essential reading for library managers and directors, particularly those working at national, public, academic, health and school libraries. It will also be of interest to any library and information professionals who want to gauge the impact of their services or projects on their service users for library advocacy and service development.

Performance Measurement and Performance Indicators in Libraries: A Framework for Practitioners explores the concept that libraries across all sectors are continually asked to demonstrate their value and impact to their stakeholders. They can accomplish this through several quality assurance and performance measurement platforms, including library assessment, evaluation methodologies, surveys, and annual reporting.
One such tool in this area of activity is the Key Performance Indicator (KPI). KPIs are increasingly used to measure the performance of a library service. However, linking KPIs to quality outcomes such as impact and value can prove very difficult. This book discusses, in detail, the concept of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) within the broader context of library assessment and performance measurement.
Through harvesting examples of current best practices in KPI usage from public, academic, and health libraries, the book demystifies library KPIs, providing a KPI toolkit for any library to make use of in setting meaningful KPIs against targets, charters, service standards, and quality outcomes. Provides best practice examples of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in librariesEmphasizes KPIs, demonstrating value and impact on the library user experienceIncludes practical and reusable examples of KPIs which can be applied in local contexts (a toolkit approach)Offers an understanding of reporting, monitoring, and acting upon KPI dataExplores the differences between usage statistics and meaningful KPIs
