“On the website of IFLA’s Statistics and Evaluation Section, you can now access the updated version of the Bibliography “Impact and Outcome of
Libraries”:
http://www.ifla.org/
The bibliography has grown from ca. 550 to 624 titles since 2014. It contains publications on impact and outcome measurement for public and academic libraries, for school libraries and for special libraries. It covers studies that assessed the impact of libraries on information literacy, academic success and the social community. Extra sections deal with the impact of electronic services and the financial value of libraries.
Many thanks go to Roswitha Poll, the former chair of the Statistics and Evaluation Section, who has again taken on the effort of updating the bibliography!”
