Qualitative and Quantitative Methods in Libraries International Conference
Chania, Crete, Greece: 26-29 of May 2009
Qualitative and Quantitative Methods (QQM) are proved more and more popular
tools for Librarians, because of their usefulness to the everyday professional
life. QQM aim to the assessment and improvement of the services, to the
measurement of the functional effectiveness and efficiency. QQM are the mean to
make decisions on fund allocation and financial alternatives. Librarians use
also QQM in order to determine why and when their users appreciate their
services. This is the start point of the innovation involvement and the ongoing
procedure of the excellent performance. Systematic development of quality
management in libraries requires a detailed framework, including the quality
management standards, the measurement indicators, the self-appraisal schedules
and the operational rules. These standards are practice-oriented tools and a
benchmarking result. Their basic function is to express responsibly the
customer (library user) -supplier (library services) relationship and provide a
systematic approach to the continuous change onto excellence. The indoor and
outdoor relationships of libraries are dependent of their communication and
marketing capabilities, challenges, opportunities and implementation
programmes.
The conference expands the main theme and presentations given 10 years earlier
in the successful IATUL 1999 conference, organizer Dr. Anthi Katsirikou then
director of the library of Technical University of Crete.
The theme of the 20th IATUL 1999 conference in Chania was the "The Future of
Libraries in Human Communication". The forthcoming QQML 2009 Conference will
focus in an expanded theme covering Qualitative and Quantitative Methods in
Libraries.
QQML2009 is organized under the umbrella of ASMDA International Society
organizing conferences on data analysis from 1981
