The book includes coverage of: The theoretical framework for assessment, its purpose and the tools and techniques used Institutional, national and international student surveys and how they can be used to improve library service The history and development of standardised library surveys (eg LibQUAL+®), how they have been used and their impact The benefits of In house library surveys and case studies of where they gave been used Library statistics, including standardised statistics sets and key performance indicators Qualitative feedback in the library Emerging techniques including UX Taking a holistic approach to library assessment through advocacy and strategic planning
