  11. COUNTER1 • Launched in March 2002, COUNTER (Counting Online Usage of Networked Electronic Resources) is an international initiative designed to serve librarians, publishers and intermediaries by facilitating the recording and exchange of online usage statistics. • COUNTER has set out to achieve this, that is, the use of these online information resources should be measured in a more consistent way.

  12. COUNTER2 • Code of Practice for Journals and Databases • Code of Practice for Books and Reference Works

  13. Code of Practice for Journals and Databases: 2005 • Journal Report 1: No. of Successful Full-text Article Requests by Month and Journal • Journal Report 2: Turnaways by Month and Journal • Journal Report 3: No. of Successfual Item Requests and Turnaways by Month, Journal and Page-Type • Journal Report 4: Total Searches Run by Month and Service • Database Report 1: Total Searches and Sessions by Month and Database • Database Report 2: Turnaways by Month and Database • Database Report 3: Total Searches and Sessions by Month and Service

  14. Compliant Vendors • http://www.projectcounter.org/articles.html

  22. Performance Measures • ISO 20983: Information and Documentation – Performance Indicators for Electronic Library Services • E-Metrics (ARL)

  23. ISO 209831 • Is the first edition for the evaluation of electronic library services in 2003. • In the future, ISO 20983 will be incorporated into ISO 11620.

  24. ISO 209832 • Is composed of 5 dimensions and 14 categories in the following: • User Perception: general • Public Services: general, providing documents, retrieving documents, lending documents, document delivery from external sources, enquiry and reference services, information searching, user education, and facilities. • Technical Services: acquiring documents, processing documents, and cataloguing. • Promotion of Services • User Services: deployment of staff

  25. ISO 209833 • PIs • Percentage of Population Reached by Electronic Services • Percentage of Expenditure on Information Provision Spent on the Electronic Collection • No. of Documents Downloaded Per Session • Cost per Database Session • Cost Per Document Downloaded • Percentage of Rejected Sessions • Percentage of Remote OPAC Sessions • Virtual Visits as a Percentage of Total Visits

  26. ISO 209834 • PIs • Percentage of Information Requests Submitted Electronically • No. of User Attendances at Electronic Service Training Lessons Per Capita • Workstation Hours Available Per Capita • Population Per Public Access Workstation • Workstation Use Rate • No. of Attendances at Formal IT and Related Training Lessons Per Staff Member • Percentage of Library Staff Providing and Developing Electronic Services

  27. E-Metrics1 • This E-Metrics study was 18-month project from 2000 to 2003 and was composed of three phases as follows: • An inventory • An identification • Identifying and testing data elements • 5 dimensions of E-Metrics Projects are proposed to measure in the following: • Resource • Use • Cost • Digital Collection • Performance

  28. E-Metrics2 • Resource Measures: Patron Accessible Electronic Resources • No. of Electronic Full-text Journals (R1) • No. of Electronic Reference Sources (R2) • No. of Electronic Books (R3) • Use Measures: Use of Networked Resources and Services • No. of Electronic Reference Transactions (U1) • No. of Logins (Sessions) to Electronic Databases (U2) • No. of Queries (Searches) in Electronic Databases (U3) • Items of Requested in Electronic Databases (U4) • Virtual Visits to Library’s Website and Catalog (U5)

  29. E-Metrics3 • Cost Measures: Expenditures for Networked Resources and Related Infrastructure • Cost of Electronic Full-text Journals (C1) • Cost of Electronic Reference Sources (C2) • Cost of Electronic Books (C3) • Library Expenditures for Bibliographic Utilities, Networks, and Consortia (C4) • External Expenditures for Bibliographic Utilities, Networks, and Consortia (C5)

  30. E-Metrics4 • Digital Collection Measures: Library Digitization Activities • Size of Library Digital Collection (D1) • Use of Library Digital Collection (D2) • Cost of Digital Collection Construction and Management (D3) • Performance Measures • Percentage of Electronic Reference Transactions of Total Reference (P1) • Percentage of Remote Library Visits of All Library Visits (P2) • Percentage of Electronic Books to All Monographs (P3)

  31. Service Quality • LibQUAL+ • Balanced Scorecard • Best Practices • Benchmark

  32. LibQUAL+1 • The LibQUAL+ was initiated in Sept./Oct. 1999. • The LibQUAL+ was developed based on SERVQUAL model. • 3 dimensions and 22 core questions. Three dimensions are listed as below: • User Perceptions of Service Affect • Information Control • Library as Place

  33. LibQUAL+2 • User Perceptions of Service Affect • Employees who instill confidence in users. • Giving users individual attention. • Information Control • Making electronic resources accessible from home or office. • Library as Place • Library space that inspires study and learning • To examine and explain the results based on 3 ways as follows: • Gap scores (min., perceived and desired scores) • Radar chart • Bar chart

  34. Balanced Scorecard1 • The balanced scorecard was developed in the early 1990's by Drs. Robert Kaplan and David Norton and is a new approach to strategic management. • The balanced scorecard is a management system (not only a measurement system) that enables organizations to clarify their vision and strategy and translate them into action. • Four Dimensions • Financial • Internal Business Processes • Learning and Growth • Customer • Vision and Strategy

  35. Balanced Scorecard2

  36. Outcomes Assessment1 • The Linear Model • The Cyclic Model • The Spiral Swirl • A Framework
