Benchmarking the Library: Data for Best Practice

Abstract

No matter how good you are there is always room for improvement. In a busy school library, where staff are focused on day-to-day operations, how can we effectively and meaningfully confirm that we are still on track?

How can we be sure that as technology, education, and our respective schools’ expectations change, we continue to have a positive impact? And, how can we provide our school administration with compelling and meaningful data to confirm that we are delivering an effective library service efficiently?
