BEST PRACTICES <strong>2013</strong> Library Metrics: A Practical Guide By Karen Krugman, Chief Librarian, Commerce Research Library, Department of Commerce; Karen White, Senior Librarian & Team Lead, USAID Knowledge Services Center, LAC Group on assignment at USAID; Kris Vajs, Chief Librarian, Research Library, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System Good metrics will always be important in analyzing and improving library operations, but they are equally important in demonstrating the library’s value to the organization. As agencies’ budgets tighten and government mandates require demonstrable results, it’s appropriate to reexamine your library’s metrics to assure their continued relevance. During these challenging budgetary times, we must present metrics to management that demonstrate the library’s impact to assure its continuing viability and vitality. This brief paper discusses the principles that should guide your selection of measurements and their presentation. Why report library metrics to your management?

The analysis of operations requires measurements that address critical aspects of the way an operation is carried out and looks at these measurements over a period of time to evaluate trends. Data that meet both criteria are the basis of judging whether a process is “in-control” or not, according to operations management literature. The measurements that might come to hand when responding to an impromptu request for operational data are likely to be inadequate on both counts. You will not have invested time in identifying those measures that reveal the state of library operations and it will be impossible to recreate an extended series from transactions that occurred in the past. It is important to collect metrics proactively and on an ongoing basis, before you’re asked for them. Institute regular collection, analysis and 10
