Performance Evaluation Of Information Resource Sharing System

Since entering the 21st century, the implementation of knowledge innovation strategic has been considered as the prior development in all countries especially for Euro-American countries. As a result, the investment in the construction of information resource and service guarantee system has been increased year by year. At the same time, the rapid development and applications of the modern information technologies are accelerating the evolution of information resource sharing system, both in quantities and functions. Accordingly, performance evaluation of information resource sharing system has been paid more and more attention in academic circles, as well as the practice. The quantitative analysis and practical attemptation of performance evaluation of information resource sharing system is experimented in Europe and the United States, which is based on the wide practice of library performance evaluation and digital resource performance evaluation. While in our country the similar studies are just at the beginning, the exploration of evaluation which is the realistic need of the sustainable development of information resource sharing system, should accord with the rules of collection development and utilization in the digital environment, as well as adapting to our national conditions.Based on summarizing the research and practice of home and aboard, this dissertation focuses on strategic development of information resource sharing system and constructs the corresponding performance evaluation theoretical framework and indicator system using correlative performance evaluation methods and models. On the basis of survey on CALIS, the dissertation takes further empirical research on the questions of information resource sharing system development in our country. According to the survey results, the tactics of improving information resource sharing system performance are put forward to the questions. Its main ideas are as follows:Chapter 1 Evolution of information resource sharing system and the performance evaluationThe appearance and development of information resource sharing system has historic inevitability. Currently, driven by change of resource, service and users'need, information resource sharing system has to achieve strategic transformation in order to accommodate the new demand in the digital environment. For this reason, it is necessary to combine strategic transformation with performance evaluation. At the same time, the practice of library performance evaluation and digital resource performance evaluation take ready for the performance evaluation of information resource sharing system consequently.Chapter 2 The method and theoretical framework of performance evaluation of information resource sharing systemThe "input-output" model is the most common performance evaluation method in the research of information resource sharing system performance evaluation, which focuses on nothing more than the system operating result and hardly provides suggestion to improve performance through evaluating. In the orientation of strategic target realization, the research pays attention to both the system process and result, using the methods of balanced scorecard-measures, PRM and SCP model to analyze the performance of information resource sharing system, and then establish the theoretical framework of information resource sharing system both facing result and process.Chapter 3 The model of performance evaluation of information resource sharing systemOn the basis of the analyzing and summarizing of the elements of the information resource performance evaluation sharing system in different perspectives, six elements of the model are brought forward through consolidation and recomposition the correlatively elements in the theoretical framework of information resource sharing system performance evaluation, which are resource, member, service and utilization, investment and expenditure, management and process and external benefit. By the combinative way of element analysis and specialist survey, the indicator system of the information resource performance evaluation is brought forward, which is composed of 6 first degree indicators and 23 second degree indicators. And then, the weight of each indicator is calculated by analytic hierarchy process and the corresponding performance evaluation flow is designed.Chapter 4 Empirical research:design the performance evaluation of CALISThe problems that the performance evaluation of CALIS aims at are induced, following the analysis of CALIS currently strategic development analysis. It is difficult for the existing evaluation to support the ongoing strategic development of CALIS, because the short of holistic and systemic performance evaluation indicator system and relevant routine evaluation mechanism. For these reasons, it is important for CALIS to design a comprehensive performance evaluation indicator system which supports the CALIS strategic development, according to the model of information resource sharing system performance evaluation.Chapter 5 Empirical research:performance evaluation implementation and result analysis of CALIS This section states how to use the theoretical framework and model of information resource sharing system of performance evaluation in the practical implementation of CALIS performance evaluation. The result shows that the performance of CALIS should be improved pressingly. The dominance of CALIS performance centralizes on management and process, external benefit and service and utilization, meanwhile, investment and expenditure as well as resource are the most restricted factors of CALIS performance. And then the detailed description and analysis of each performance evaluation indicator are followed, based on which, there are some drawbacks that should be overcome and two relationships should be appropriately treated with. The performance evaluation template is useful for the standardization and reutilization of performance evaluation implementation of CALIS. Targeting at the problems discovered through the survey, the performance improvement of CALIS should carry out the following points:firstly, strengthen cooperative construction in the orientation of users' need; secondly, accelerate digital library building and fulfill the collocated sharing model; thirdly, maintain foundational investment and performance, at the same time, widen the financing channel.Chapter 6 The innovation of management mechanism that improve the information resource sharing system performanceFirst of all, information resource sharing system should establish multi-mode cooperation mechanism to eliminate the imbalance between "cooperative building" and "sharing". Secondly, aiming at the status of the ongoing strategic transformation and the model of self-determinate development of information resource sharing system in the open environment, a risk guarantee system should be set up mainly in the aspects of cultivating strategic fellows through external activity, integrating the budget of strategic coalition, and set up crisis alarm and response system; last but not least, the establishment of performance evaluation collaboration mechanism will settle the problem of the time lag between the "investing" and "output", and make the performance evaluation double as result evaluation and process control, so as to advance the building efficiency and fulfill the sustainable development of information resource sharing system.Chapter 7 ConclusionThis section summarizes the research of the dissertation, points out limitations of research, and at last puts forward the study plans for the near future research.This dissertation is the primary research production of "Performance Evaluation of Information Resource Sharing System", which is National Social Science Fund Project(No.08BTQ030).(table 27, figure 37)...
