This book offers a completely new approach to the measurement of
academic library effectiveness. Based on a significant empirical
investigation, it contradicts established practices such as the
measurement of outputs as indicators of effectiveness and the
tendency to focus the evaluation of library effectiveness on the
success of isolated activities. The book also explores in detail
the fundamental inadequacy of library-based bibliographic
instruction and information-seeking skills development. It argues
that a student learns in order to become information literate and
does not become information literate in order to learn. In so
doing, it challenges much of the accepted wisdom in libraries and
information technology.
