Statistics and evaluation of Slovenian libraries

Eva Kodrič-Dačić

Abstract

Slovenian Librarianship Act, adopted in 2001, has defined a number of tasks concerning monitoring and evaluating libraries which are carried out by the National and University Library. Library System Development Centre (CeZaR) collects statistical data and evaluates minimum library resources which are prescribed for libraries providing public service. Statistical data on public and special libraries and on libraries of the institutions of higher education are collected yearly. Collection and reporting are supported by BibSiSt-online – the software which was developed by CeZaR in cooperation with Društvo Piff.
Implementation of regulated minimum standards on library resources is evaluated every three years. Evaluation methodology is defined in the Librarianship Act and the Regulation on the conditions for carrying our library activities as public service. Results of the evaluations in 2002 and 2005 have shown that libraries only exceptionally meet nationally prescribed minimum standards.
