This Working Group was part of LIBER’s 2013-2017 Strategy.

It was launched in 2016. In less than a year, the group ran a workshop at LIBER 2017, published an article (The Leiden Manifesto Under Review: What Libraries Can Learn From It) and collected Metrics best practices for libraries.

The topic of Metrics remains an important one for LIBER libraries. The Metrics Working Group is therefore continuing its work as part of our 2018-2022 Strategy. For more information, visit the Innovative Metrics Working Group page.
