Описание: Researchers are becoming increasingly concerned with tracking the impact and reach that their research has on the academic community. Through the implementation of altmetrics, they can now better measure the value that their research has through the analysis of citing behavior and citation-based research evaluation.
Measuring and Implementing Altmetrics in Library and Information Science Research is a critical research book that focuses on how altmetrics can help researchers to uncover evidence of societal engagement, influence, and broader impacts that demonstrate the value of their research. It builds a more complete picture of the visibility and profile of individual researchers and observes real-time social media updates that provide insight into how faculty's research is being shared from the moment it is published. Featuring a range of topics such as citations, big data, and social media, this book is essential for researchers, educators, librarians, professionals, academicians, administrators, and students.
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

Автор: Thomas Mann Название: The Oxford Guide to Library Research ISBN: 0199931062 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780199931064 Издательство: Oxford Academ Рейтинг: Цена: 28500.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The information world has undergone drastic changes since the publication of the 3rd edition of The Oxford Guide to Library Research in 2005, and Thomas Mann, a veteran reference librarian at the Library of Congress, has extensively revised his text to reflect those changes. This book will answer two basic questions: First, what is the extent of the significant research resources you will you miss if you confine your research entirely, or even primarily, to sources available on the open Internet? Second, if you are trying to get a reasonably good overview of the literature on a particular topic, rather than just something quickly on it, what are the several alternative methods of subject searching--which are not available on the Web--that are usually much more efficient for that purpose than typing keywords into a blank search box, with the results displayed by relevance-ranking computer algorithms? This book shows researchers how to do comprehensive research on any topic. It explains the variety of search mechanisms available, so that the researcher can have the reasonable confidence that s/he has not overlooked something important. This includes not just lists of resources, but discussions of the ways to search within them: how to find the best search terms, how to combine the terms, and how to make the databases (and other sources) show relevant material even when you don't know how to specify the best search terms in advance. The book's overall structuring by nine methods of searching that are applicable in any subject area, rather than by subjects or by types of literature, is unique among guides to research. Also unique is the range and variety of concrete examples of what to do--and of what not to do. The book is not about the Internet: it is about the best alternatives to the Internet--the sources that are not on the open Web to begin with, that can be found only through research libraries and that are more than ever necessary for any kind of substantive scholarly research. More than any other research guide available, this book directly addresses and provides solutions to the serious problems outlined in recent studies documenting the profound lack of research skills possessed by today's digital natives.
