Measuring Library Performance
Principles and techniques
Peter Brophy, Professor of Information Management, Manchester Metropolitan University
Measuring the performance of a library's services is one of the most crucial parts of providing a good service. This important book is the first to provide an accessible account of current thinking on the evaluation of library services, both traditional and - importantly - electronic library services. Illustrated throughout with a range of international examples across different types of libraries, this book should become the standard work on performance measurement.
November 2006; 256pp; 1-85604-593-5; hardback; £39.95 (£31.96 to CILIP Members)
Also available:
Ethics, Accountability, and Recordkeeping in a Dangerous World
Richard J Cox , Professor in Library and Information Science, School of Information Sciences, University of Pittsburgh
The first book in the Principles and Practice in Records Management and Archives Series considers both the practical issues concerning administering records and the more contentious issues related to public policy and recordkeeping. It will push both archivists and records managers to reconsider the ethical dimension of their work and how they define their societal and organizational priorities.
