Decision support models and a DSS for European academic and public libraries

Exploitable results

The project involved libraries and 2 library systems developers in different countries in the investigation of needs and requirements for decision support and in the development and testing of a prototype system for libraries. The main impact lies in the promotion of the availability of decision support tools in libraries by providing a prototype system with decision support system (DSS) capability. DECIDE will advance research into requirements in this area. The main results are: clarification of the relationships and differences between quality assurance, performance evaluation and resource allocation strategies and the circumstances in which they are needed; tested personal computer (PC)-based DSS independent of any one library system; definition of potential standard models of DSS-related data collection, extraction, interpretation and presentation for use in a wide range of EU countries.
