Resume of the presentation:
Evaluation is the best tool to learn and understand a system. However, evaluation and operational research have certain processes and methods. The findings of different methods can be divided into quantitative and qualitative data, but most methods can produce both types of data. Descriptions of these methods and indicators are also included in the library standards for uniform use and for effective results. In this study I analyzed The Electronic Periodical Archives and Database (EPA) with the above-mentioned performance indicators. EPA is an archive managing, equipped with source and location registration system of electronic periodicals, and also a national web site database operated by the National Széchényi Library.
Rita Radó’s participation in the conference was sponsored by National Széchényi Library and Magyar Információtudományi Alapítvány (Hungarian Information Science Foundation).
