EQUINOX

Library Performance Measurement and Quality Management System

27th November 1998 - 26th November 2000

EQUINOX is a project funded under the Telematics for Libraries Programme of the European Commission. This project addresses the need of all libraries to develop and use methods for measuring performance in the new networked, electronic environment, alongside traditional performance measurement, and to operate these methods within a framework of quality management.

The project has two main objectives. Firstly, EQUINOX aims to further develop existing international agreement on performance measures for libraries, by expanding these to include performance measures for the electronic library environment. The second aim is to develop and test an integrated quality management and performance measurement tool for library managers.

To this end, the EQUINOX project team brings together expertise from the leading edge of library performance measurement and quality management in libraries, as well as technical partners highly experienced in the field of library automation and information management systems.
