Information and documentation -- Library performance indicators

This International Standard specifies the requirements of a performance indicator for libraries and establishes a set of performance indicators to be used by libraries of all types. It also provides guidance on how to implement performance indicators in libraries where such performance indicators are not already in use. The list of performance indicators are summarized in Annex A and details given in Annex B. This International Standard provides a standardized terminology and concise definitions of the performance indicators. Furthermore, this International Standard contains concise descriptions of the performance indicators and of the collection and the analysis of data needed. This International Standard is applicable to all types of libraries in all countries. However, not all performance indicators are applicable to all libraries. Limitations on the applicability of individual performance indicators are listed for each performance indicator in Annex B. This International Standard does not specify performance indicators for all services, activities, and uses of the resources of the library, either because such performance indicators had not been proposed and tested at the time of formulation of this International Standard, or because they did not fulfil the criteria specified (see 4.2).

Information et documentation -- Indicateurs de performance des bibliothèques

L'ISO 11620:2008 d�finit les sp�cifications d'un indicateur de performance des biblioth�ques et �tablit une s�rie d'indicateurs destin�s � �tre employ�s par tous types de biblioth�ques. Elle donne aussi des conseils sur la mani�re d'utiliser des indicateurs de performance l� o� ils ne sont pas encore en usage. La liste des indicateurs de performance est �galement r�sum�e.
L'ISO 11620:2008 offre une terminologie normalis�e et une d�finition concise des indicateurs de performance. De plus, elle d�crit pr�cis�ment les modalit�s d'�laboration de ces indicateurs ainsi que les processus de collecte et d'analyse des donn�es requises.
L'ISO 11620:2008 s'applique � tous les types de biblioth�ques dans tous les pays. Cependant tous les indicateurs de performance ne s'appliquent pas � toutes les biblioth�ques. Les restrictions apport�es � l'application d'indicateurs de performance particuliers sont �num�r�es pour chaque indicateur de performance.
L'ISO 11620:2008 ne sp�cifie pas certains services, activit�s et utilisations des ressources de la biblioth�que ne font pas actuellement l'objet d'indicateurs de performance soit parce qu'aucun n'a �t� propos� et test� au moment de la r�daction de l'ISO 11620:2008, soit parce qu'aucun ne remplit les crit�res retenus.

Informatika in dokumentacija - Kazalci uspešnosti knjižnic

Ta mednarodni standard določa zahteve za kazalce uspešnosti knjižnic ter vzpostavlja nabor kazalcev uspešnosti, ki se uporabljajo v vseh vrstah knjižnic. Prav tako zagotavlja napotke, kako kazalce uspešnosti uvesti v knjižnicah, kjer ti kazalci še niso v uporabi. Seznam kazalcev uspešnosti je zbran v dodatku A, podrobnosti o uporabi kazalcev uspešnosti pa so podane v dodatku B. Ta mednarodni standard zagotavlja standardizirano izrazje in koncizne definicije kazalcev uspešnosti. Poleg tega ta mednarodni standard vsebuje jedrnat opis kazalcev uspešnosti ter opise zbiranja in analiziranja potrebnih podatkov. Ta mednarodni standard je uporaben za vse vrste knjižnic v vseh državah, vendar pa ni mogoče vseh kazalcev uspešnosti uporabiti v vseh knjižnicah. Omejitve uporabe posameznih kazalcev uspešnosti so za vsak kazalec uspešnosti posebej navedene v dodatku B. Ta mednarodni standard ne določa kazalcev uspešnosti za vse storitve, aktivnosti in uporabo virov knjižnice, bodisi zato, ker taki kazalci uspešnosti niso bili predlagani in preskušeni v času oblikovanja tega mednarodnega standarda, bodisi zato, ker ne izpolnjujejo določenih meril (glej točko 4.2).

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 11620 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, Subcommittee
SC 8, Quality — Statistics and performance evaluation.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 11620:1998), its Amendment 1
(ISO 11620:1998/Amd.1:2003) and ISO/TR 20983:2003, which have been technically revised. The revision
incorporates performance indicators for electronic and traditional library services and resources into a single
document, and includes technical updates to performance indicators of electronic and traditional library
services and resources.

ISO 11620:2008(E)
Introduction
This International Standard is concerned with the evaluation of libraries of all types.
The main purpose of this International Standard is to endorse the use of performance indicators in libraries
and to spread knowledge about how to conduct performance measurement.
This international library community has expressed its commitment to the development of an International
Standard for library performance indicators. By the establishment of this International Standard, the use of
performance indicators can be advanced and libraries in developing and developed countries will benefit from
the knowledge and skills associated with formal planning procedures and data collection processes.
The quality of library services is related to the broader topic of quality management and quality assurance.
This International Standard acknowledges and supports the standards prepared by ISO/TC 176.
Every performance indicator in this International Standard is given a unique name. This name sometimes
differs from the literature upon which its description is based. Such differences are documented in the
descriptions of the performance indicators.
The performance indicators included in this International Standard are either in widespread use or well
documented in the literature. Some of the descriptions of performance indicators incorporate modifications of
performance indicators described elsewhere: these reflect practical experience or the need to generalize.
Input and resource based ratios are very well documented in the literature and provide a context for library
performance indicators as defined in this International Standard.
There are some library activities and services for which, during the development of this International Standard,
there was a general lack of tested and well-documented performance indicators. These include outcome and
impact measures for libraries. Electronic services will continue to develop and evolve, and such evolution will
require monitoring as related to the performance indicators in this International Standard. The library and
information community is encouraged to establish mechanisms and to give a high priority to developing
relevant performance indicators for existing and emerging library services and resources.
This International Standard does not include performance indicators for the evaluation of the outcomes of
library services either on individuals, the communities that libraries serve, or on society at this time. This is an
evolving area of performance measurement for libraries. This International Standard will be maintained and
developments monitored. Additional performance indicators will be incorporated as they are tested and
validated.
Performance indicators may be used for comparison over time within the same library. Comparisons between
libraries may also be made, but only with caution. Between library comparisons will need to take into account
any differences in the constituencies of the libraries, with good understanding of the performance indicators
used, and careful interpretation of the data (see 5.3.5).
There are other limitations to the performance indicators in this International Standard that depend on local
factors such as the community the library serves, service mandates, and technology infrastructure
configuration. It is advisable that results from the use of performance indicators listed in this International
Standard be interpreted with regard to these factors.
The performance indicators included in this International Standard do not reflect all possible measures or
evaluation techniques. The International Standard offers accepted, tested, and publicly accessible
methodologies and approaches to measuring a range of library service performance.
This International Standard is not intended to exclude the use of performance indicators that have not been
specified within it (see Clause 5).

More detailed information concerning methodology and analysis in establishing performance indicators in
libraries can be found in References [1] to [30] listed in the Bibliography.
A group operating under the auspices of ISO/TC 46/SC 8 is responsible for maintaining this International
Standard. Newly developed performance indicators are vetted by an appointed group of experts and
descriptions are published as amendments to this International Standard as rapidly as possible after ballot
submitted to the national committees.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 11620:2008(E)

Information and documentation — Library performance
indicators
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the requirements of a performance indicator for libraries and establishes
a set of performance indicators to be used by libraries of all types. It also provides guidance on how to
implement performance indicators in libraries where such performance indicators are not already in use. The
list of performance indicators are summarized in Annex A and details given in Annex B.
This International Standard provides a standardized terminology and concise definitions of the performance
indicators. Furthermore, this International Standard contains concise descriptions of the performance
indicators and of the collection and the analysis of data needed.
This International Standard is applicable to all types of libraries in all countries. However, not all performance
indicators are applicable to all libraries. Limitations on the applicability of individual performance indicators are
listed for each performance indicator in Annex B.
This International Standard does not specify performance indicators for all services, activities, and uses of the
resources of the library, either because such performance indicators had not been proposed and tested at the
time of formulation of this International Standard, or because they did not fulfil the criteria specified (see 4.2).

institution of higher education, this will normally be the total of academic and professional staff plus students.
2.33
quality
degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfils requirements
NOTE 1 The term “quality” can be used with adjectives such as poor, good or excellent.
NOTE 2 “Inherent”, as opposed to “assigned”, means existing in something, especially as a permanent characteristic.
[ISO 9000:2005, definition 3.1.1]

ordinary expenditure
money spent on staff, and on resources which are used and replaced regularly, excluding capital expenditure
such as main capital items, new buildings, extensions or modifications to existing buildings and computer
equipment
NOTE Operating expenditure is calculated in various ways in different institutions, authorities and countries, and it
does not seem possible to prescribe only one way of doing it. Calculation will have to be done according to normal
practice in the context where this measure is applied. This also means that comparisons are only valid when calculations
are done according to the same principles. Operating expenditure normally includes: salaries and wages (including
employee benefits, social costs, etc.), costs of acquiring documents for the collection, administrative costs, maintenance of
buildings, collections, etc., rental costs or depreciation costs of buildings and equipment, and other operating expenses
(heating, lighting, electricity, etc.).Value-added taxes, sales and service taxes or other local taxes are normally included,
unless a performance indicator is used for international comparisons.

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
ISO 11620:2008(E)
2.39
session
successful request of a database or the online catalogue
NOTE 1 A session is one cycle of user activities that typically starts when a user connects to a database or the online
catalogue and ends with explicit (by leaving the database through log-out or exit) or implicit (timeout due to user inactivity)
termination of activities in the database. The average timeout period would be 30 min. If another time period is used, this
needs to be reported.
NOTE 2 Sessions on the library website are counted as virtual visits.
NOTE 3 Requests of a general entrance or gateway page needs to be excluded.
NOTE 4 If possible, requests by search engines need to be excluded.
[ISO 2789:2006, definition 3.3.25]
2.40
special grant
grant of a non-recurrent nature to fund (or partly fund) projects
[ISO 2789:2006, definition 3.5.4]
2.41
target population
groups of actual and potential users appropriate to an individual library as the object of a specific service or as
the primary users of specific materials
2.42
title
words at the head of a document thus identifying it and normally distinguishing it from others
[ISO 5127:2001, definition 4.2.1.4.1]
NOTE For measuring purposes, “title” describes a document, which forms a separate item with a distinctive title,
whether issued in one or several physical units, and disregarding the number of copies of the document held by the library.
2.43
user
recipient of library services
NOTE The recipient can be a person or an institution, including libraries.
2.44
user training
training programme set up with a specified lesson plan, which aims at specific learning outcomes for the use
of library and other information services
NOTE 1 User training can be offered as a tour of the library, as library tuition, or as a web-based service for users.
NOTE 2 The duration of lessons is irrelevant.
[ISO 2789:2006, definition 3.3.28]
2.45
validity
degree to which a performance indicator actually measures what it is intended to measure
© ISO 2008 – All rights reserved 7

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
ISO 11620:2008(E)
2.46
virtual visit
user’s request on the library website from outside the library premises, regardless of the number of pages or
elements viewed
NOTE 1 A website visitor is either a unique and identified web browser program or an identified IP address that has
accessed pages from the library’s website.
NOTE 2 The interval between two consecutive requests generally is no longer than a time-out period on 30 min if they
are to be counted as part of the same virtual visit. A longer interval initiates a new visit.
NOTE 3 Web servers providing services whose statistics are reported at another site are to be excluded from the
statistics of the library website.
[ISO 2789:2006, definition 3.3.29]
2.47
visit
person (individual) entering the library premises
[ISO 2789:2006, definition 3.3.30]
NOTE Includes both simple counts and ratios between counts as long as they are used to characterize the
performance of a library.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 11620 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, Subcommittee
SC 8, Quality — Statistics and performance evaluation.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 11620:1998), its Amendment 1
(ISO 11620:1998/Amd.1:2003) and ISO/TR 20983:2003, which have been technically revised. The revision
incorporates performance indicators for electronic and traditional library services and resources into a single
document, and includes technical updates to performance indicators of electronic and traditional library
services and resources.

Introduction
This International Standard is concerned with the evaluation of libraries of all types.
The main purpose of this International Standard is to endorse the use of performance indicators in libraries
and to spread knowledge about how to conduct performance measurement.
This international library community has expressed its commitment to the development of an International
Standard for library performance indicators. By the establishment of this International Standard, the use of
performance indicators can be advanced and libraries in developing and developed countries will benefit from
the knowledge and skills associated with formal planning procedures and data collection processes.
The quality of library services is related to the broader topic of quality management and quality assurance.
This International Standard acknowledges and supports the standards prepared by ISO/TC 176.
Every performance indicator in this International Standard is given a unique name. This name sometimes
differs from the literature upon which its description is based. Such differences are documented in the
descriptions of the performance indicators.
The performance indicators included in this International Standard are either in widespread use or well
documented in the literature. Some of the descriptions of performance indicators incorporate modifications of
performance indicators described elsewhere: these reflect practical experience or the need to generalize.
Input and resource based ratios are very well documented in the literature and provide a context for library
performance indicators as defined in this International Standard.
There are some library activities and services for which, during the development of this International Standard,
there was a general lack of tested and well-documented performance indicators. These include outcome and
impact measures for libraries. Electronic services will continue to develop and evolve, and such evolution will
require monitoring as related to the performance indicators in this International Standard. The library and
information community is encouraged to establish mechanisms and to give a high priority to developing
relevant performance indicators for existing and emerging library services and resources.
This International Standard does not include performance indicators for the evaluation of the outcomes of
library services either on individuals, the communities that libraries serve, or on society at this time. This is an
evolving area of performance measurement for libraries. This International Standard will be maintained and
developments monitored. Additional performance indicators will be incorporated as they are tested and
validated.
Performance indicators may be used for comparison over time within the same library. Comparisons between
libraries may also be made, but only with caution. Between library comparisons will need to take into account
any differences in the constituencies of the libraries, with good understanding of the performance indicators
used, and careful interpretation of the data (see 5.3.5).
There are other limitations to the performance indicators in this International Standard that depend on local
factors such as the community the library serves, service mandates, and technology infrastructure
configuration. It is advisable that results from the use of performance indicators listed in this International
Standard be interpreted with regard to these factors.
The performance indicators included in this International Standard do not reflect all possible measures or
evaluation techniques. The International Standard offers accepted, tested, and publicly accessible
methodologies and approaches to measuring a range of library service performance.
This International Standard is not intended to exclude the use of performance indicators that have not been
specified within it (see Clause 5).

libraries can be found in References [1] to [30] listed in the Bibliography.
A group operating under the auspices of ISO/TC 46/SC 8 is responsible for maintaining this International
Standard. Newly developed performance indicators are vetted by an appointed group of experts and
descriptions are published as amendments to this International Standard as rapidly as possible after ballot
submitted to the national committees.

Information and documentation — Library performance
indicators
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the requirements of a performance indicator for libraries and establishes
a set of performance indicators to be used by libraries of all types. It also provides guidance on how to
implement performance indicators in libraries where such performance indicators are not already in use. The
list of performance indicators are summarized in Annex A and details given in Annex B.
This International Standard provides a standardized terminology and concise definitions of the performance
indicators. Furthermore, this International Standard contains concise descriptions of the performance
indicators and of the collection and the analysis of data needed.
This International Standard is applicable to all types of libraries in all countries. However, not all performance
indicators are applicable to all libraries. Limitations on the applicability of individual performance indicators are
listed for each performance indicator in Annex B.
This International Standard does not specify performance indicators for all services, activities, and uses of the
resources of the library, either because such performance indicators had not been proposed and tested at the
time of formulation of this International Standard, or because they did not fulfil the criteria specified (see 4.2).

NOTE 1 These are the basic requirements for a library and do not exclude any additional resources and services
incidental to its main purpose.
NOTE 2 Where a library has more than one function (e.g. school library and public library), it generally either decides
what is its primary function or, in extreme cases, divides its functionality and report data accordingly.

institution of higher education, this will normally be the total of academic and professional staff plus students.
2.33
quality
degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfils requirements
NOTE 1 The term “quality” can be used with adjectives such as poor, good or excellent.
NOTE 2 “Inherent”, as opposed to “assigned”, means existing in something, especially as a permanent characteristic.

money spent on staff, and on resources which are used and replaced regularly, excluding capital expenditure
such as main capital items, new buildings, extensions or modifications to existing buildings and computer
equipment
NOTE Operating expenditure is calculated in various ways in different institutions, authorities and countries, and it
does not seem possible to prescribe only one way of doing it. Calculation will have to be done according to normal
practice in the context where this measure is applied. This also means that comparisons are only valid when calculations
are done according to the same principles. Operating expenditure normally includes: salaries and wages (including
employee benefits, social costs, etc.), costs of acquiring documents for the collection, administrative costs, maintenance of
buildings, collections, etc., rental costs or depreciation costs of buildings and equipment, and other operating expenses
(heating, lighting, electricity, etc.).Value-added taxes, sales and service taxes or other local taxes are normally included,
unless a performance indicator is used for international comparisons.
2.36

2.39
session
successful request of a database or the online catalogue
NOTE 1 A session is one cycle of user activities that typically starts when a user connects to a database or the online
catalogue and ends with explicit (by leaving the database through log-out or exit) or implicit (timeout due to user inactivity)
termination of activities in the database. The average timeout period would be 30 min. If another time period is used, this
needs to be reported.
NOTE 2 Sessions on the library website are counted as virtual visits.
NOTE 3 Requests of a general entrance or gateway page needs to be excluded.
NOTE 4 If possible, requests by search engines need to be excluded.
[ISO 2789:2006, definition 3.3.25]
2.40
special grant
grant of a non-recurrent nature to fund (or partly fund) projects
[ISO 2789:2006, definition 3.5.4]
2.41
target population
groups of actual and potential users appropriate to an individual library as the object of a specific service or as
the primary users of specific materials
2.42
title
words at the head of a document thus identifying it and normally distinguishing it from others
[ISO 5127:2001, definition 4.2.1.4.1]
NOTE For measuring purposes, “title” describes a document, which forms a separate item with a distinctive title,
whether issued in one or several physical units, and disregarding the number of copies of the document held by the library.
2.43
user
recipient of library services
NOTE The recipient can be a person or an institution, including libraries.
2.44
user training
training programme set up with a specified lesson plan, which aims at specific learning outcomes for the use
of library and other information services
NOTE 1 User training can be offered as a tour of the library, as library tuition, or as a web-based service for users.
NOTE 2 The duration of lessons is irrelevant.
[ISO 2789:2006, definition 3.3.28]

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur
publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres
votants.
L'attention est appelée sur le fait que certains des éléments du présent document peuvent faire l'objet de
droits de propriété intellectuelle ou de droits analogues. L'ISO ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de ne

ISO 11620:2008(F)
Introduction
La présente Norme internationale traite de l'évaluation de tous les types de bibliothèques.
L'objet principal de la présente Norme internationale est d'encourager l'emploi d'indicateurs de performance
dans les bibliothèques et de faire connaître les moyens d'en mesurer la performance.
La communauté internationale des bibliothèques a décidé de s'engager dans l'élaboration d'une Norme
internationale sur les indicateurs de performance des bibliothèques. Grâce à l'établissement de la présente
Norme internationale, l'emploi d'indicateurs de performance pourra se généraliser dans les bibliothèques des
pays développés ou en voie de développement, qui bénéficieront ainsi des connaissances et des
compétences nécessaires à la mise en œuvre des procédures de planification régulière et de collecte des
données.
La qualité des services de bibliothèque s'inscrit dans la démarche plus large de la gestion et de l'assurance
de la qualité. La présente Norme internationale reconnaît et soutient les normes élaborées par l'ISO/TC 176.
Chaque indicateur se voit attribuer dans la présente Norme internationale une dénomination unique. Cette
dénomination diffère parfois de celle utilisée dans la littérature sur laquelle s'appuie sa description. Ces
différences sont indiquées dans la description des indicateurs.
Les indicateurs de performance qui figurent dans la présente Norme internationale sont soit largement utilisés,
soit bien décrits dans la littérature professionnelle. Certaines descriptions d'indicateurs englobent les
modifications apportées aux descriptions les plus répandues: ces changements résultent de la pratique ou du
besoin de donner à ces indicateurs une portée plus générale. Les rapports fondés sur l'utilisation des
ressources sont très bien décrits dans la littérature; ils servent de cadre aux indicateurs de performance des
bibliothèques définis dans la présente Norme internationale.
Pour certaines activités et certains services de bibliothèque, un manque général d'indicateurs dûment testés
et décrits a été constaté, au cours de l'élaboration de la présente Norme internationale. C'est le cas des
mesures d'impact pour les bibliothèques. Les services électroniques continueront à se répandre et à évoluer,
et cette évolution devra être prise en compte dans les indicateurs de la présente Norme internationale. La
communauté des bibliothèques et des services d'information est invitée à mettre en place des mécanismes et
à accorder la priorité à la mise au point d'indicateurs pertinents pour les services et les ressources de
bibliothèques existants et émergents. La présente Norme internationale sera tenue à jour par un groupe de
travail qui accompagnera les développements et qui ajoutera des indicateurs supplémentaires dès qu'ils
auront été testés et validés.
Actuellement, la présente Norme internationale ne comprend pas d'indicateurs pour l'évaluation de l'impact
des services des bibliothèques sur les individus et les communautés desservies, ou sur la société. C'est un
secteur en évolution de la mesure de la performance dans les bibliothèques. La présente Norme
internationale sera tenue à jour et accompagnée de développements. Des indicateurs supplémentaires seront
ajoutés dès qu'ils auront été testés et validés.
Les indicateurs peuvent servir à effectuer des comparaisons au cours du temps dans la même bibliothèque. Il
est possible, mais en restant prudent, de comparer des bibliothèques entre elles. Il conviendra alors de
prendre en compte toutes les différences dans l'organisation des bibliothèques, de faire preuve d'une bonne
compréhension des indicateurs utilisés et d'interpréter les données avec précaution (voir 5.3.5.).
Les indicateurs de performance de la présente Norme internationale présentent d'autres limites qui dépendent
de facteurs locaux tels que la communauté que la bibliothèque dessert, les missions, l'infrastructure
technologique et sa configuration. Il est conseillé d'interpréter les résultats de l'utilisation des indicateurs de
performance décrits dans la présente Norme internationale en fonction de ces facteurs.

ISO 11620:2008(F)
Les indicateurs de performance qui figurent dans la présente Norme internationale ne couvrent pas toutes les
mesures ou techniques d'évaluation possibles. La présente Norme internationale offre des méthodes et des
démarches reconnues, testées et accessibles par le public pour mesurer un éventail de performances des
services des bibliothèques.
La présente Norme internationale ne prétend nullement exclure l'utilisation des indicateurs de performance
qui n'y sont pas décrits (voir Article 5).
De plus amples informations concernant la méthodologie et l'analyse nécessaires à l'élaboration des
indicateurs de performance dans les bibliothèques peuvent être trouvées dans les Références [1] à [30] de la
Bibliographie.
Un groupe fonctionnant sous l'égide de l'ISO/TC 46/SC 8 est responsable de la maintenance de la présente
Norme internationale. Les nouveaux indicateurs créés sont examinés par un groupe d'experts désignés et les
descriptions sont publiées en tant qu'amendements à la présente Norme internationale aussi rapidement que
possible après avoir fait l'objet d'un vote de la part des comités nationaux.

Information et documentation — Indicateurs de performance
des bibliothèques
1 Domaine d'application
La présente Norme internationale définit les spécifications d'un indicateur de performance des bibliothèques
et établit une série d'indicateurs destinés à être employés par tous types de bibliothèques. Elle donne aussi
des conseils sur la manière d'utiliser des indicateurs de performance là où ils ne sont pas encore en usage.
La liste des indicateurs de performance est résumée dans l'Annexe A et des détails sont donnés dans
l'Annexe B.
La présente Norme internationale offre une terminologie normalisée et une définition concise des indicateurs
de performance. De plus, elle décrit précisément les modalités d'élaboration de ces indicateurs ainsi que les
processus de collecte et d'analyse des données requises.
La présente Norme internationale s'applique à tous les types de bibliothèques dans tous les pays. Cependant,
tous les indicateurs de performance ne s'appliquent pas à toutes les bibliothèques. Les restrictions apportées
à l'application d'indicateurs de performance particuliers sont énumérées pour chaque indicateur de
performance dans l'Annexe B.
Certains services, activités et utilisations des ressources de la bibliothèque ne font pas actuellement l'objet
d'indicateurs de performance soit parce qu'aucun n'a été proposé et testé au moment de la rédaction de la
présente Norme internationale, soit parce qu'aucun ne remplit les critères retenus (voir 4.2).

SIST ISO 11620 : 2008
Predgovor

ISO (Mednarodna organizacija za standardizacijo) je svetovna zveza nacionalnih organov za
standarde (članov ISO). Mednarodne standarde ponavadi pripravljajo tehnični odbori ISO. Vsak član,
ki želi delovati na določenem področju, za katero je bil ustanovljen tehnični odbor, ima pravico biti
zastopan v tem odboru. Pri delu sodelujejo mednarodne vladne in nevladne organizacije, povezane z
ISO. V vseh zadevah, ki so povezane s standardizacijo na področju elektrotehnike, ISO tesno
sodeluje z Mednarodno elektrotehniško komisijo (IEC).

Mednarodni standardi so pripravljeni v skladu s pravili, podanimi v 2. delu Direktiv ISO/IEC.

Glavna naloga tehničnih odborov je priprava mednarodnih standardov. Osnutki mednarodnih
standardov, ki jih sprejmejo tehnični odbori, se pošljejo vsem članom v glasovanje. Za objavo
mednarodnega standarda je treba pridobiti soglasje najmanj 75 odstotkov članov, ki se udeležijo
glasovanja.

Opozoriti je treba na možnost, da je lahko nekaj elementov tega mednarodnega standarda predmet
patentnih pravic. ISO ne prevzema odgovornosti za ugotavljanje katerih koli ali vseh takih patentnih
pravic.

ISO 11620 je pripravil tehnični odbor ISO/TC 46 Informatika in dokumentacija, pododbor SC 8
Kakovost – Statistika in vrednotenje uspešnosti.

Ta druga izdaja razveljavlja in nadomešča prvo izdajo (ISO 11620:1998), njeno dopolnilo 1 (ISO
11620:1998/Amd.1:2003) in ISO/TR 20983:2003, ki so bili tehnično revidirani. Revizija združuje
kazalce uspešnosti za elektronske in tradicionalne knjižnične storitve in vire v en dokument ter
vključuje tehnične posodobitve teh kazalcev uspešnosti.

SIST ISO 11620 : 2008
Uvod

Ta mednarodni standard se nanaša na vrednotenje vseh vrst knjižnic.

Glavni namen tega mednarodnega standarda je podpirati uporabo kazalcev uspešnosti v knjižnicah in
širiti znanje o izvajanju meritev uspešnosti.

Mednarodna skupnost knjižnic je izrazila svojo zavezanost k sodelovanju pri razvoju mednarodnega
standarda za kazalce uspešnosti knjižnice. Z uveljavitvijo tega mednarodnega standarda uporaba
kazalcev uspešnosti lahko napreduje, knjižnice v deželah v razvoju in knjižnice v razvitih državah pa
bodo lahko uporabljale znanje in veščine, povezane s formalnimi postopki načrtovanja in izvedbe
procesa zbiranja podatkov.

Kakovost knjižničnih storitev je povezana s širšo temo vodenja in zagotavljanja kakovosti. Ta
mednarodni standard priznava in podpira standarde, ki jih je pripravil tehnični odbor ISO/TC 176.

Vsakemu kazalcu uspešnosti v tem mednarodnem standardu je bilo dodeljeno edinstveno ime. To ime
se včasih razlikuje od drugih imen kazalca v literaturi, na podlagi katere je opis narejen. Take razlike
so dokumentirane v opisih kazalcev uspešnosti.

Kazalci uspešnosti, vključeni v ta mednarodni standard, so v splošni rabi ali pa so v literaturi dobro
dokumentirani. Nekateri opisi kazalcev uspešnosti vključujejo modifikacije kazalcev uspešnosti, ki so
bili opisani drugje: ti odražajo praktične izkušnje ali pa potrebo po posplošitvi. Njihova uporaba in
razmerja, zasnovana na virih, so v literaturi zelo dobro dokumentirani in zagotavljajo kontekst
knjižničnim kazalcem uspešnosti, kot so opredeljeni v tem mednarodnem standardu.

Za nekatere kazalce uspešnosti, s katerimi se ocenjujejo aktivnosti in storitve knjižnic, se je v procesu
priprave tega mednarodnega standarda izkazalo, da so na splošno slabo preverjeni in tudi slabo
dokumentirani. Enako velja tudi za merjenje učinkovitosti in vpliva knjižnic. Elektronske storitve bodo
še napredovale in se razvijale, tak razvoj pa bo potreboval spremljanje, povezano s kazalci
uspešnosti, opisanimi v tem mednarodnem standardu. Knjižnična in informacijska skupnost sta pred
izzivom vzpostavitve mehanizmov in prednostnega razvoja ustreznih kazalcev uspešnosti, tako za
obstoječe knjižnične storitve in vire kot tudi za tiste, ki se še razvijajo.

Ta mednarodni standard trenutno še ne vključuje kazalcev uspešnosti za vrednotenje učinkov
knjižničnih storitev za posameznike, za skupnosti, ki so jim knjižnice namenjene, ali za celotno družbo.
To področje merjenja uspešnosti knjižnic je še vedno v razvoju. Ta mednarodni standard bo še naprej
predmet vzdrževanja, hkrati pa se bo spremljal razvoj. Dodatni kazalci uspešnosti bodo vključeni, ko
bodo preskušeni in potrjeni.

Kazalci uspešnosti se lahko uporabljajo za primerjavo v daljšem časovnem obdobju znotraj ene
knjižnice. Primerjave med posameznimi knjižnicami so prav tako mogoče, vendar z določeno mero
previdnosti. Pri primerjavi med knjižnicami bo treba upoštevati morebitne razlike v organizaciji in
delovanju knjižnic, pri tem pa sta potrebni tako dobro poznavanje uporabljenih kazalcev uspešnosti kot
tudi pazljiva interpretacija dobljenih podatkov (glej točko 5.3.5).

Za kazalce uspešnosti v tem mednarodnem standardu obstajajo tudi druge omejitve, ki so odvisne od
lokalnih dejavnikov, kot so na primer skupnost, ki ji je knjižnica namenjena, obveznosti izvajanja
knjižničnih storitev in konfiguracija tehnološke strukture. Priporočljivo je, da se rezultati uporabe
kazalcev uspešnosti, navedenih v tem mednarodnem standardu, interpretirajo z upoštevanjem teh
dejavnikov.

Kazalci uspešnosti, vključeni v ta mednarodni standard, ne prikazujejo vseh možnih načinov merjenja
in vrednotenja. Mednarodni standard ponuja sprejete, preskušene in javno dostopne metodologije in
pristope k merjenju stopnje uspešnosti knjižničnih storitev.

Ta mednarodni standard nima namena izključevati uporabe kazalcev uspešnosti, ki v njem niso
opisani (glej točko 5).

Informatika in dokumentacija – Kazalci uspešnosti knjižnic

1 Področje uporabe

Ta mednarodni standard določa zahteve za kazalce uspešnosti knjižnic ter vzpostavlja nabor kazalcev
uspešnosti, ki se uporabljajo v vseh vrstah knjižnic. Prav tako zagotavlja napotke, kako kazalce
uspešnosti uvesti v knjižnicah, kjer ti kazalci še niso v uporabi. Seznam kazalcev uspešnosti je zbran v
dodatku A, podrobnosti o uporabi kazalcev uspešnosti pa so podane v dodatku B.

Ta mednarodni standard zagotavlja standardizirano izrazje in koncizne definicije kazalcev uspešnosti.
Poleg tega ta mednarodni standard vsebuje jedrnat opis kazalcev uspešnosti ter opise zbiranja in
analiziranja potrebnih podatkov.

Ta mednarodni standard je uporaben za vse vrste knjižnic v vseh državah, vendar pa ni mogoče vseh
kazalcev uspešnosti uporabiti v vseh knjižnicah. Omejitve uporabe posameznih kazalcev uspešnosti
so za vsak kazalec uspešnosti posebej navedene v dodatku B.

Ta mednarodni standard ne določa kazalcev uspešnosti za vse storitve, aktivnosti in uporabo virov
knjižnice, bodisi zato, ker taki kazalci uspešnosti niso bili predlagani in preskušeni v času oblikovanja
tega mednarodnega standarda, bodisi zato, ker ne izpolnjujejo določenih meril (glej točko 4.2).

PRIMER: Če od treh oseb, ki so zaposlene kot bibliotekarji, ena dela za četrtino delovnega časa, ena za polovico
delovnega časa in ena za polni delovni čas, potem je FTE teh oseb 0,25 + 0,50 + 1,0 = 1,75 bibliotekarja (FTE).

OPOMBA: Ni nujno, da vse knjižnice uporabljajo enako število ur na leto za določanje FTE. Zato morajo vse primerjalne
meritve med knjižnicami upoštevati morebitne razlike v urah.

2.22

(npr. e-knjiga)

OPOMBA 1: Izposoje vključujejo tako podaljšanja izposoje, ki jih uporabnik zahteva sam, kot tudi evidentirano izposojo
znotraj knjižnice (izposoja v knjižnico). Podaljšanja izposoje je treba šteti ločeno.

OPOMBA 2: Izposoje vključujejo kopije dokumentov, zagotovljene na kraju, kjer se nahaja originalni dokument (vključno s
telefaksom), in izpise elektronskih dokumentov, ki jih osebje knjižnice naredi za uporabnike.

OPOMBA 3: Izposoje dokumentov v fizični obliki oddaljenim uporabnikom so tukaj vključene.

OPOMBA 4: Elektronski prenos dokumentov s posredovanjem knjižnice se šteje za elektronsko dostavo dokumentov, kadar

OPOMBA: izdatki delovanja se v različnih ustanovah, organih in državah izračunavajo na različne načine in pri tem očitno
ni mogoče najti enotnega načina za izračunavanje. Izračun bo moral biti izveden v skladu z ustaljeno prakso in
kontekstom, v katerem se izvaja. To tudi pomeni, da so primerjave veljavne le, kadar so izračuni opravljeni po
enakih načelih. Izdatki delovanja navadno vključujejo: plače in nadomestila (vključno z dodatki in drugimi
ugodnostmi za zaposlene), stroške za nabavo gradiva za zbirko, administrativne stroške, stroške vzdrževanja
stavb, zbirk itd., stroške najema ali stroške zavarovanja stavb in opreme ter druge obratovalne stroške
(ogrevanje, osvetljava, električna energija itd.). Kjer je to izvedljivo, se vključijo tudi lokalni in nacionalni davki od
nakupa/prodaje, kot so davek na dodano vrednost (DDV)), razen kadar se kazalec uspešnosti uporablja za
mednarodne primerjave.
