Abstract
Employs data envelopment analysis (DEA) to evaluate the relative performance of 23 university libraries in Taipei City and County. The estimated results show that 11 university libraries are relatively efficient. The results also show that nine out of these 11 have a relatively good academic research function. Only Ming-chuan Management College and Shih-chien Design College are attributed lower research capabilities. Marine and Oceanic University, Yang-ming University and Ming-chuan Management College are rated the top three libraries and enjoy the highest levels of efficiency in the sample. Shows that the resource utilization of these university libraries functions well. Finds that the inefficient libraries manage their acquisition expenditures and book circulation poorly.
