Library evaluation - Beyond statistics and indicators

January-February-March 2020

Among the concerns of library professionals, it is clear that evaluation has expanded its scope and methods: From the evaluation of collections and their use, we have moved on to the evaluation of the services offered, their adequacy to the needs of users, the impact of libraries on student success, etc.
As for evaluation methods, it is an understatement to say that, echoing the digital transition, the deluge of data manipulated by the documentary information systems of institutions remains to be exploited if we wish to rethink their objectives in a context of increased competition and complementarity.
