Abstract
This study proposed the improvement in the evaluation systems and indicators of small libraries, by analyzing the evaluation indicators of the current small libraries, domestic and foreign ones and domestic other institutions, and gathering opinions from managers of them and experts belonging to related groups, in order to enhance the management quality of small libraries and strengthen the independence of them, based on the evaluation on the activation and substantiality of them. The evaluation systems proposed by this study is divided into Track 1 evaluating small libraries and Track 2 evaluating local governments. The evaluation indicators of small libraries was simplified by eliminating the indicators found from the statistics of Track 1 (small libraries). Track 1 consists of three evaluation areas in regard to the management of small libraries, such as library management, infrastructures and services, 8 evaluation items, 10 evaluation indicators, quantitative (a total of 100 points) and qualitative (a total of 120 points) evaluation. Track 2 consists of 2 evaluation areas in regard to the establishment and enforcement of small library policies and the support for small libraries, such as library management and infrastructures, 4 evaluation items, 5 evaluation indicators and quantitative evaluation (a total of 100 points).
