How to determine the usability of libraries? is a self explanatory manual that provides an insight into the various useful resources which can be utilized to evaluate a library or an information centre. The process of evaluation involves an exhaustive data collection that aids in managerial decision making.

With this book that is divided in five chapters, you and your colleagues can examine individual projects and ongoing services.

With this book and a general-purpose suite of office software, you can gather, analyze, and report your own evaluation data. You will know what tools are best for what data, and requiring what staff time and effort. You will be able to knowledgeably solicit assistance and employ consultants, advanced training, or more powerful software..
