NISO will be holding a one day forum on "Assessment and Performance 
Management for Libraries" on June 1, 2009 at the Radisson Plaza Lord

About this Forum

Particularly in times when belt-tightening is necessary, we all need to 
find ways to measure our performance to improve our outcomes. This 
one-day, in-person seminar will focus on quantitative measures by which 
libraries can measure their performance and compare it with others. 
Usage versus cost measurement, the impact of changing delivery methods, 
and end-users outcome satisfaction will be explored.
