Der Einsatz betriebswirtschaftlicher Methoden und Instrumente findet in Bibliotheken und Informationseinrichtungen in unterschiedlichen Bereichen statt. Auch im Bereich der Kundenorientierung und Kundenzufriedenheit können diese Verwendung finden. Doch nicht für alle Bibliotheken und Informationseinrichtungen sind dieselben Methoden und Instrumente geeignet und manche sind nicht in die Bibliothekswelt übertragbar. Die Anwendbarkeit und Tauglichkeit solcher Methoden müssen bibliotheksspezifisch überprüft und bewertet werden. Dies hat sich dieses Online-Handbuch "Kundenorientierte Bibliothek" zur Aufgabe gemacht. Auf den folgenden Seiten finden Sie Informationen zu ausgewählten Instrumenten, die in öffentlichen und wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken in Deutschland und in der Schweiz getestet und dokumentiert wurden. Ursprung der Seite war ein Projekt im SS 2011, das in Zusammenarbeit der Hochschule der Medien in Stuttgart und der Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft in Chur stattfand.

Enter the World of Tomorrow through one of the Library's richest and most heavily used archival collections: the official corporate records of the 1939–40 New York World's Fair. The Fair, like the Library, has something for everyone, from technological innovation and classical music, to pop culture and a portrait of the world dealing with the crises of war and economic hardship.
Libraries do something they call "name authority control". For most people in IT, this would be called "assigning unique identifiers to names."
