Public Library Service Impact Measures The measures for 2005/6 were put together after extensive consultation and piloting with a wide range of Library Authorities. They complemented the revised Public Library Service Standards launched in October 2004, and the two sets of measures together provided a coherent approach to performance management for public libraries. They were selected to show the contribution of libraries to five of the seven shared priorities agreed by central and local government. The proposals formed a starting point in the process of identifying 'robust ' measures to provide evidence of the effect public libraries have on communities. Guidance was also provided on community profiling which forms the basis on which to identify community needs for library services.  Introduction to proposals for 2005/2006 (Word 36KB)
