New ISO standard will help national libraries to evaluate their performance

National libraries have special responsibilities for the cultural heritage of their country. A new ISO Technical Report that defines performance indicators for national libraries will help them to optimize effectiveness and efficiency in fulfilling these tasks.

SO/TR 28118:2009, Information and documentation  Performance indicators for national libraries, establishes the performance indicators that are relevant to the special tasks and services of national libraries. These services include the collection and preservation of the national documentary heritage, the publication of a national bibliography, and a leading role in international cooperation.
