The focus is on the period from the Commission’s foundation in 1997 to the present day, highlighting its impact in advancing modern practices in the collection, processing, and interpretation of statistical data in library operations. The paper also presents the members of the Commission, along with their roles and contributions from the very beginning of its work. The Commission’s activities are described in detail, including the themes of six round tables held over 28 years of its operation. An overview of the Commission’s work reveals its significant contribution to the library profession, particularly in introducing new approaches and improving the evaluation of library services, enhancing the organization of library processes, and increasing transparency within libraries.
