Current StatusCurrent Status

Application of Modern Management Techniques

– Limited application of

• Decision support systems

• Performance indicators and systematic measurement

– Very early stage of quality management

BUT

– Increasing interest and experimentation

– Significant impetus by EU Libraries Programme

Aims– Define decision support requirements, approaches &

methodologies

– Develop a trial DSS prototype

Project findings and results– Found limited commonality between indicators of

PROLIB, ISO, IFLA

– Core indicators different for Als and PLs

– Prototype developed

Aims / Results

– To define info needed for DS

– Specs & methods for data import & export

– To examine data protection

– To develop a prototype transformer with security & encryption

Total Library Management Concept (TOLIMAC)

– based on chip card and encryption technology,

– integration of management functions such as:

•user identification

•access control

•authentication

•electronic payment

Aims and expected results– To develop an integrated QM & PM tool for library managers

– To define electronic PMs

– To enhance and adapt EQLIPSE ISO 9000 compatible QMS

– To assist non-ISO 9000

– To come to an international agreement on standard PMs for the electronic library environment
