Tennessee standards for public libraries in the regional library system [electronic resource] Tre Hargett; Chuck Sherrill

Abstract: Public library standards provide specific criteria by which libraries can be measured and evaluated. They provide focus and direction for action and accountability within local library communities. Adjustments and additions to the standards were made in order to reflect the changes in library operations and services since the previous version. Most significantly, benchmarks from the Edge Initiative have been added to update our approach to technology and related issues in Tennessee Libraries. The Edge benchmarks have been footnoted in the text. Includes a checklist of standards; a public policy checklist; and an image evaluation.
