The development of an evaluation and information system for Italian libraries is an essential step to ensure the effective planning of cultural policies. The systematic gathering of data on libraries in Italy has an impact that extends beyond librarianship and concerns the evaluation of public policies.
To this day, Italian libraries have yet to adopt a uniform detection model. It concerns the possibilities for libraries to affirm their role and importance. In the past years, other cultural organizations (museums, universities, ecc.) have started to develop indicators to measure their economic and non economic impact in different socioeconomic settings. In parallel, UN SDGs have started to be discussed, as current development models based on massive exploitation of resources is increasingly proving unbearable. In such a context, libraries have been quite prudent in embracing change, but they risk to be marginalized in public opinion and in public resources allocation, precisely when they are increasingly important for a changing society.
At the moment, different models have produced a bluured picture as regards services and impact of libraries in Italy. This makes it impossible to collect data for all libraries, leading to some dangerous distortions: the most evident is the lack of repercussions in terms of the social impact of Italian libraries within the framework of the ISTAT Report on Equitable and Sustainable Wellbeing (BES).
The aim of "Data-Driven Libraries" Project is: 1) to develop a tool-kit for monitoring library inputs, outputs and outcomes; 2) to support the implementation of the integrated information system of the places of culture; 3) the planning of outcome indicators as part of BES indicators of ISTAT coherent with SDGs.
This task represents the natural continuation of the ties of collaboration which the PI has established in 2017 with ISTAT through the project "Design Study for the Statistical Representation of the Library Network in Italy".
