  • training virtual Library Network s staff using the internet the experience of the latin american and the caribbean social science virtual Library online course
    Library Management, 2004
    Co-Authors: Dominique Babini
    Abstract:

    What challenges do we envisage when considering the Internet as a platform to deliver training for librarians, editors and Webmasters working in the development of a collaborative virtual Library? After some considerations concerning technology‐based distance training developments for librarians, the experience of the Latin American Council of Social Sciences is described where the Internet is used to deliver training to librarians, editors and Webmasters of their member institutes in Latin America and the Caribbean. Choosing a virtual campus platform, building multinational teams for teaching and learning, working on the design of course content and preparing full‐text bibliography, managing the course and evaluating its results have been the main challenges for this experience, which is described to help Library Networks in developing regions think about the Internet as a possible platform for training staff located in institutions with access to the Internet.

  • data collection manual for academic and research Library Network statistics and performance measures
    2001
    Co-Authors: Charles R Mcclure, Bruce T Fraser, John Carlo Bertot
    Abstract:

    This manual provides a beginning approach for research libraries to better describe the use and users of their Networked services. The manual also aims to increase the visibility and importance of developing such statistics and measures. Specific objectives are: to identify selected key statistics and measures that can describe use and users of electronic and Networked services; to standardize procedures and definitions to collect these statistics and measures; and to increase awareness of selected issues related to collecting, analyzing, and reporting the data to produce these statistics and measures. Definition, rationale, implementation, special considerations, and related issues are described for Network statistics in the following categories: patron accessible electronic resources; use of Networked resources and services; expenditures for Networked resources and related infrastructure; and Library digitization activities. Definition, rationale, implementation, special considerations, and related issues are also described for performance measures. Appendices include a list of statistics considered and forms for data collection. (MEE) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

  • Library Network Statistics and Performance Measures: Approaches and Issues
    LIBER Quarterly, 2001
    Co-Authors: John Carlo Bertot
    Abstract:

    Library Networked statistics and performance measures are important indicators of the use, uses, and users of Networked services that libraries offer their patrons. This article focuses on three efforts to develop and standardize Library Network statistics and performance measures. In particular, the article discusses, compares, and contrasts selected aspects of the International Standards Organization (ISO), U.S. public Library Network statistics, and Association of Research Library (ARL) efforts. The three approaches attempt to capture, describe, and present Library Networked activities in similar ways through similar approaches – yet they differ in key areas. It is important to note that there are a number of national and international efforts underway that continue to research the Library Network statistics and performance measure environment.
