   About the conference

LibPMC brings together practitioners, researchers, educators and 
students interested in all aspects of performance measurement in library 
and information services in any context. The goal of library performance 
measurement and assessment is to understand how well a library is 
meeting stakeholder needs, with the aim of driving improvement. Key 
features of library performance measurement include a focus on the needs 
of stakeholders and communities, actively using qualitative and 
quantitative data to improve services and the user experience, and 
communicating the results and outcomes of assessment activities.

Past conferences have provided a mix of invited speakers, contributed 
papers and workshops designed to stimulate discussion, provide ideas for 
measuring and improving library performance, and develop new concepts 
and techniques to advance the field. The conference is the 
longest-running conference on this subject and is truly international, 
welcoming participants from all countries.
