Instead of telling the average performance among libraries examined, this method, with a proper model of library inputs and outputs, can be used as a means of identifying the best practices in some peer group and provides an efficiency score for each library, with a specific recommendation for efficiency improvement. DEA incorporates the idea of benchmarking and extends it to situations with many resources and services, called "inputs" and "outputs" respectively. |
