Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Telling the story of a library through assessment has always been an essential aspect of library administration and management, but doing this work effectively can be challenging. Academic libraries are increasingly being asked to demonstrate impact and value to their institution. Even for experienced library leaders, sustaining awareness of varying audiences and changing priorities, as well as keeping up with best practices for assessment and reporting, requires ongoing consideration and adaptation. This is particularly true if the goal is to enhance perception and build support among stakeholders while securing essential funding and resources.,
Figuring It Out examines the concepts, challenges, and successes of assessment and storytelling in libraries. It shares perspectives and strategies from ten different institutions, representing libraries with dedicated assessment librarians, libraries with committees or task forces, and libraries working with limited resources.
Chapters provide insights and takeaways to support and inform library leaders, institutions, and researchers, illuminating the vital importance libraries play within the academic community.
