Abstract

Statistics can be daunting, but for today's library managers, they are an inescapable part of the job. Managers need data to guide the decisions they make. They also must provide evidence to library stakeholders of the direct and indirect benefits their libraries offer. Managing with Data, a companion volume to the authors' Getting Started with Evaluation (ALA, 2014), provides a detailed approach to how to choose the best metrics for library assessment and how to tell a persuasive story with the resulting data.
