Monographs and Serials Expenditures (1990-2005) in CREPUQ Libraries
![Page 12: Common Statistics Programs and Projects in Canadian Academic Libraries Sylvie Belzile Université de Sherbrooke Statistiques de bibliothèques au 21 e siècle:](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051820/56649cb45503460f949784a9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
CARL Statistics Publications (Some Particularities)
CARL: – Includes an analysis (commentaries) of major trends in
Canadian Research Libraries– Section on emerging services:
1998-99: Access to the OPAC through the library online system, circulation renewal via telephone, off-campus document delivery by fax
2005-06: Presence of Information Commons, digitization projects, electronic reference services, loan of electronic equipment
– Section on salaries
![Page 13: Common Statistics Programs and Projects in Canadian Academic Libraries Sylvie Belzile Université de Sherbrooke Statistiques de bibliothèques au 21 e siècle:](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051820/56649cb45503460f949784a9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Number of CARL Libraries that Lend Electronic Equipment (2000 to 2006)
![Page 14: Common Statistics Programs and Projects in Canadian Academic Libraries Sylvie Belzile Université de Sherbrooke Statistiques de bibliothèques au 21 e siècle:](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051820/56649cb45503460f949784a9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
New Indicators
Electronic resources: number and expenditure– CARL: already supplied in the General statistics
publication, data not available for some libraries– CREPUQ: supplementary questionnaires on trial
![Page 15: Common Statistics Programs and Projects in Canadian Academic Libraries Sylvie Belzile Université de Sherbrooke Statistiques de bibliothèques au 21 e siècle:](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051820/56649cb45503460f949784a9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
New Indicators
Challenges:– Définitions: ex. electronic serials titles in
aggregator packages are to be counted separately (CARL) or included with reference works (CREPUQ)
– The library budget structure does not allow the level of detail requested (ex. recurrent vs non recurrent expenditures)
– To ascertain the number of unique serial titles: the SFX knowledge base will be used by CREPUQ
![Page 16: Common Statistics Programs and Projects in Canadian Academic Libraries Sylvie Belzile Université de Sherbrooke Statistiques de bibliothèques au 21 e siècle:](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051820/56649cb45503460f949784a9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
New Indicators to Be Developped
Use of networked electronic resources and services– Supplementary ARL questionnaire as a model:
(number of sessions (logins) to databases or services, number of full-text articles retrieved etc.)
– To be developped for CARL and CREPUQ
![Page 17: Common Statistics Programs and Projects in Canadian Academic Libraries Sylvie Belzile Université de Sherbrooke Statistiques de bibliothèques au 21 e siècle:](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051820/56649cb45503460f949784a9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Comparative Tables of Cost vs Use (CREPUQ)
Analysis completed by the Working Group on the Virtual Library Collection Development:
– For electronic resources acquired in consortia by CREPUQ and CRKN (Canadian Research Knowledge Network)
– Counter compliant data received from publisher/vendor– 4th year in 2007-2008 (23 products)– Evaluation of cost effectiveness of each product for a library

2007 LibQual+ Survey
Complement common quantitative data Coordinated by CARL/ABRC Consortia of 54 Canadian academic,
research and governement libraries (11 CREPUQ libraries)
A success: will be repeated in 3 years
![Page 23: Common Statistics Programs and Projects in Canadian Academic Libraries Sylvie Belzile Université de Sherbrooke Statistiques de bibliothèques au 21 e siècle:](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051820/56649cb45503460f949784a9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Conclusion
Importance of benchmarking and sharing best practices
To stay relevant statistics should reflect new activities, collections and transactions in libraries
Cooperation at the national and regional levels should continue to develop and test new performance indicators
