Title Stakeholders and Public Library Mission
AuthorsMAG.BIBL. EDLIRA MACAJ
Abstract

Paper tends to find out core missions of public libraries and identifies their stakeholders. It explains relations they create by focusing in the same goal. Objectives preserve to present the complexity of services of public libraries and stakeholders’ commitment level in the evaluation process about missions as culture, education, information and literacy are in a comparative point of view. Qualitative-quantitative approaches are aligned together to explain stakeholders’ position and role toward public libraries missions. A synthesized questionnaire for comparison purpose (library activities, service measurement) was prepared for managers of libraries. Another questionnaire (about relations, interest) was distributed to every public library stakeholder taken in consideration. Different categories of stakeholders as: public library and school directors, librarians, city councillors, representative of library association, publishers, users (included volunteers) were interviewed. Results through evaluation process discovered a colourful assessment about the most important mission that a public library should have nowadays according to their interest. Five public libraries taken in consideration are an important data for the research, but they don’t entirely represent all cities libraries and all kind of possible partners. It limits the judgement about a detailed report of all Albanian public libraries. Key Word: Stakeholders, Public Library, Mission, Assessment.
