Review of criteria used to measure library effectiveness     

E Evans  H Borko  P Ferguson 《Bulletin of the Medical Library Association》1972,60(1):102-110

This article reports the results of a survey of literature on measures of library effectiveness. This survey led to the formulation of six criterion concepts (accessibility, cost, user satisfaction, response time, cost/benefit ratio, and use). The advantages and disadvantages of each method of measurement are discussed. Several points which became clear during the analysis are discussed. First, there is a relative lack of concern with the rationale behind the evaluation process, although the results invariably lead to a confused interpretation when there is no clear understanding of the purpose of an evaluation. Second, the total library system is rarely considered; instead, each evaluation criterion is taken in isolation rather than as part of the whole. Third, the library's preservation function has not been considered at all.  相似文献   

A suggested approach to a library building program     

B Barker  P Di Mauro 《Bulletin of the Medical Library Association》1967,55(3):329-335

The preliminary building program suggested in this paper makes use of outlines, graphs, charts, and lists, rather than long-winded paragraphs, to describe the needs, objectives, and philosophy of the library. It is hoped that a short, concise, but detailed, report using these methods will save time and make the report more attractive to read, thereby encouraging the many people who will need to assist in the building planning to use the report.  相似文献   

Analysis of recorded biomedical book and journal use in the Yale Medical Library. II. Subject and user relations     

P Stangl  F G Kilgour 《Bulletin of the Medical Library Association》1967,55(3):301-315

Cancelled charge slips collected over a one-year period supply the data for this analysis of circulation in the Yale Medical Library. Full-time teaching faculty are the heaviest users of journal literature, and students, of monograph literature. Faculties of Medical School departments are compared in terms of their use of material in individual subjects. Subject literatures are analyzed in terms of groups of users borrowing from them. The extent to which journal titles used by medical students are also used by Medical School faculty is examined. One of the products of the study is a rank list of journal titles used in the Library. Results are presented in several tables.  相似文献   

Using EPIC to search the OCLC Online Union Catalog in a health sciences library     

Richwine PW 《Medical reference services quarterly》1991,10(4):29-37

EPIC is a service that provides keyword or subject access to the OCLC Online Union Catalog (OLUC). This capability increases the success rate for title location as well as the potential uses of the OLUC. The features of the EPIC system, application of these features to the OLUC, and specific uses in health sciences libraries are described in this article.  相似文献

Analysis of the use of reference services in an academic health sciences library     

Sullivan W  Schoppmann LA  Redman PM 《Medical reference services quarterly》1994,13(1):35-55

In 1991, the Reference and Information Services staff of the Alfred Taubman Medical Library at the University of Michigan gathered data on the use of the reference desk, including the frequency and types of assistance requested by different user groups throughout the year. Recommendations based on the results of this study led to improved service as well as more efficient use of staff resources.  相似文献
