The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) has published a special issue of Research Library Issues (RLI) on demonstrating library value by assessing organisational performance. The special issue focuses on ways in which ARL assessment tools help libraries improve their services and programmes and show their value to stakeholders.
In an introductory essay, guest editor Martha Kyrillidou, Senior Director, ARL Statistics and Service Quality Programs, highlights the range of articles in this issue and discusses the need to assess, improve, and prove the value of library services.
Research Library Issues is a Bimonthly Report from ARL, CNI, and SPARC (RLI). The freely available, online-only publication is released six times per year by the Association of Research Libraries. RLI focuses on the major issues that affect the ability of research libraries to meet the academic and research needs of the diverse communities they serve.
