摘要：
Purpose - This study explores the effectiveness evaluation program in public libraries by conducting empirical analysis of selected Japanese public libraries. Design/Method/Approach - We used three methods: 1) the analysis of libraries' performance data; 2) meta-evaluation; and 3) case study. Findings - The evaluation program in the public libraries does not necessarily contribute to the improvement of the service performance. Additionally, the type of the evaluation (performance measurement or program evaluation) had certain effects on the performance improvement. Originality/value - This study provides new insight into on-going researches on evaluation program in libraries.
