LibPMC attendance to be free for students - call for papers deadline
extended!
Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, we are pleased to announce
the fee for attending the entirely-online 14th International Conference on
Performance Measurement in Libraries (LibPMC) will be £50, with zero fee for
students and anyone who is unable to pay.
We hope that this will enable those who would otherwise be financially
prevented from presenting their work at this renowned international
conference to do so. To support this, we have extended the closing date for
submissions to 24 May.
Submissions are welcome on any aspect of performance measurement and
assessment of relevance to the library and information sector. Proposals
are welcome for papers, lightning talks, and panels. All proposals will be
subject to double-blind peer-review, should be in English, and should not
have been published elsewhere nor submitted to another journal or
conference.

Closing date for proposals is now 24 May at 17:45 GMT. Those submitting
proposals will be notified of their status in July.

About the conference
LibPMC brings together practitioners, researchers, educators and students
interested in all aspects of performance measurement in library and
information services in any context. The goal of library performance
measurement and assessment is to understand how well a library is meeting
stakeholder needs, with the aim of driving improvement. Key features of
library performance measurement include a focus on the needs of
stakeholders and communities, actively using qualitative and quantitative
data to improve services and the user experience, and communicating the
results and outcomes of assessment activities.
Past conferences have provided a mix of invited speakers, contributed
papers and workshops designed to stimulate discussion, provide ideas for
measuring and improving library performance, and develop new concepts and
techniques to advance the field. The conference is the longest-running
conference on this subject and is truly international, welcoming
participants from all countries.

proceedings, are available on our website: https://libraryperformance.org/.
