Abstract

In such context, more and more studies began to focus on how to evaluate public cultural service organizations such as public library. The aim of this paper is to analysis papers on library efficiency in library and information science since 1982. The concept of library input-output efficiency is extracted from the overall framework of library performance. Library efficiency is different from the high level concept of “library performance” and the same level concept of “library effectiveness” respectively. Furthermore, this paper discusses the characteristics of library efficiency evaluation, efficiency measurement of DEA, criteria for selecting efficiency indicators and influencing factors.
