ABSTRACT

Evaluation of an academic library is a key to its success. Library and Information Policy Bureau of the President of the Republic of Korea conducted a trial evaluation on academic libraries with a university evaluation index developed by KERIS in 2005. The committee decided to review its feasibility based on the feedbacks from the academic libraries after the trial. This study aims to address the indexing issues appeared during the trial and suggest a new evaluation index tailored to academic libraries. First, the evaluation field is condensed from 7 to 6 as “financing” and “infrastructure” are integrated into “budget and infrastructure.” Secondly, both “user charter” and “planning” are removed from the “library management” field category, and “library self-assessment” is added instead. In “information resource” field, “non-books and etc.” is added. Third, evaluation categories for “budget and infrastructure” field are altered to budget-related items and library equipment. Forth, “collection turnover rate” category is incorporated into “collection usage” in “information usage” field, and “library use rate” in “information service” field is moved to “information resource” field and renamed as “use rate.”
