Library’s Efficiency, Impact and Outcomes - Statistical Evaluation and Other Methods as Tools for Management and Decision-making

Markku Laitinen — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 14:05:01 +0200

The radical change in the operational environment of libraries has set new challenges for library leadership and management. The traditional method for libraries has been collecting a substantial amount of statistical data. This is no longer enough for modern management. New ways of analysing efficiency, impact and outcomes measurement are needed to obtain better data and information for marketing and managing as well as demonstrating the impact of libraries. In addition to the quantitative data, one also needs qualitative data and methods of identifying users' needs.

About the Management and Marketing Section

Louis Takács — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 01:00:00 +0200

The Section was formed as the Round Table on Management. A growing interest in marketing resulted in the IFLA Professional Board establishing a new Section on Management and Marketing in 1997. The interest in the Section was evident when over 70 members joined at the start of 1998. New members are always welcome, and encouraged to participate in the work of the Section whether or not they are able to attend the IFLA conferences. Much of the work of the Section is done by e-mail in addition to postal services.
