Dear colleague,
The update of the publication Bibliography ”Impact and
Outcome of Libraries” compiled by Roswitha Poll, Münster 2014 is now available
as PDF file on the website of the Statistics and Evaluation Section on http://www.ifla.org/publications/publications-associated-with-the-s-e-section
This update is noteworthy since the International
Standard on impact assessment (ISO 16439: Methods and procedures for assessing
the impact of libraries) has been published recently after three years of
intense work chaired by Roswitha Poll. Especially the sections “social impact”
(Chapter VI) and “financial value” (Chapter VIII) have
increased considerately. Further, a list
of personal names has been added to facilitate the use of the bibliography.
We hope the bibliography will continue to be useful for
all colleagues concerned with impact studies.
With best wishes
Markku Laitinen
Planning Officer
The National Library of Finland
