REMINDER:
NISO will be holding a one day forum on "Assessment and Performance
Management for Libraries" on June 1, 2009 at the Radisson Plaza Lord
Baltimore in Baltimore, MD.
About this Forum
Particularly in times when belt-tightening is necessary, we all need to
find ways to measure our performance to improve our outcomes. This
one-day, in-person seminar will focus on quantitative measures by which
libraries can measure their performance and compare it with others.
Usage versus cost measurement, the impact of changing delivery methods,
and end-users outcome satisfaction will be explored.
