2 Public Library Assessment 公共图书馆绩效评价
图书馆服务的绩效评价可以帮助我们在管理中，能够有足够的数据、事实、调查和分析来帮助我们做出明智的决定，从而最大限度地发挥图书馆资源和服务的效益。 “Decisions are based on facts, research, and analysis, and where services are planned and delivered in ways that maximize positive outcomes and impacts for customers and stakeholders.”

3 Measurement & Evaluation 衡量尺度与评估
U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services 联邦博物馆和图书馆服务机构2007 年资料 图书馆服务 Services 馆藏 Collections 工作人员 Staffing 运行资金来源 Operating Revenue 运行资金开支 Expenditures 二、评价的内容-What need to be assessed? • 图书馆的资源，比如藏书量（size） • 图书馆的传统服务：编目、咨询（size, cataloging, circulation) • 图书馆使用情况-借阅量：网络资源的使用。Operating Revenue and Expenditures (headcount, use) • 用户对图书馆的满意程度User satisfaction • 图书馆服务的效果Outcome of the library service • 图书馆服务的经济效益value of library services

4 Measurement & Evaluation 衡量尺度与评估
The Assessment Paradigm 评估模式 Resources > Capability > Utilization > Impact 资源 > 潜力 > 应用 > 影响 Resources: input measures 资源：投入评估 Capability: processing measures 潜力：过程评估 Utilization: output measures 应用：产出评估 Impact: outcome measures 影响：效果评估

5 Measurement & Evaluation 衡量尺度与评估
Input measures: resources allocated (annual budget, size of collection, number of staff) 投入评估： 资源配置（年度预算，馆藏规模，人员数量） Process measures: transform resources into activities (quantify time or cost to perform specific task or activity such as ordering, receiving, cataloging) 过程评估：把资源转化为活动（完成某项任务比如订书，收书，编目所需的时间，费用） Output measures: how inputs and processes utilized (annual circulation, number of reference questions answered, number of users served）产出评估：投入和过程中的应用（年流通量，咨询问题数，服务对象人数）

Jacksonville, Florida Quality of Life Project – library circulation is an indicator The Quality of Life Progress Report includes over 100 indicators that reflect trends in nine external environments:生活质量的进度报告，包括反映9项外部环境的趋势的100多个指标 ： education; economy; environment; social wellbeing; arts, culture, and recreation; health; government; transportation; and safety. 教育，经济，环境，社会福利;艺术，文化，娱乐，保健，政府，交通和安全。 Jacksonville's “Quality of Life Progress Report" is probably the most well-known community indicators project. In 1985, the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce and JCCI came together to measure the quality of life in the community, expanding beyond economic indicators to measure the breadth of what was important to the Jacksonville community. 100 community volunteers developed indicators for measuring the quality of life and created what are now 119 indicators in the following nine categories: Achieving Educational Excellence, Growing a Vibrant Economy, Preserving the Natural Environment, Promoting Social Wellbeing and Harmony, Enjoying Arts, Culture, and Recreation, Sustaining a Healthy Community, Maintaining Responsive Government, Moving Around Efficiently, and Keeping the Community Safe. The indicators have been updated annually to monitor Jacksonville's progress on community improvement, and reviewed annually by a citizen's committee that assigns Gold Stars and Red Flags to community priorities as the trendlines move toward or away from the Targets for 2005 set in In 2002, the Quality of Life and JCCI's other regional human services indicator project, the Community Agenda, were brought together in one document.
