New Report: “A European Library Key Performance Study” (Academic Libraries)
From SCONUL (Society of College, National and University Libraries in the UK):
In 2017 SCONUL shared statistical return data with ADBU – the French association of directors and senior staff in university and research libraries. ADBU undertook a European comparative study on key performance indicators in academic libraries between 2013-2016 in thirteen European countries. The study explored: potential library users (staff and students); Library use (gate counts, loans, downloads and information literacy teaching); Library space (meterage, study spaces and computers); Library staff; Electronic resources; and Finance (income and expenditure).
