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: 30090.00 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.
