Proto pořádáme CONiáše a další setkání fanoušků scifi a fantasy. Mohou si knihovníci hrát divadlo? Proč by ne? Proto máme knihovnický divadelní soubor Vý; (čti Výstředník). A výčet tím daleko nekončí - poznejte s námi, co všechno se v Městské knihovně v Praze nebojíme provádět!

Approaches to determining the value of public services from consumers perspective
Řehák, Tomáš ; Stejskal, Jan
Potřeba hledat úspory ve veřejných rozpočtech staví čím dále větší počet veřejných knihoven před úkol odpovědět na otázku po své užitečnosti. A odpovědět nikoliv ve floskulích či neměřitelných kategoriích. Je třeba odpovídat v korunách, procentech či měsících návratnosti. A je třeba nalézt odpovědi nejen na otázky užitečnosti knihovny jako celku, ale i jednotlivých služeb či jejich okruhů. Městská knihovna v Praze spolu s Univerzitou Pardubice a Univerzitou Matěja Béla v Bánské Bystrici pracují na tříletém projektu, který by měl pomoci nalézt metodiku hodnověrně prováděných výzkumů v této oblasti.
