Library Statistical Yearbook 2021

Statistical analysis has been a long-standing activity at the EUI Library. This analysis supports planning, decision making and the evaluation of trends; as well as promoting transparency, and measurement of the quality of services offered.

The Library Statistical Yearbook 2021 includes information on the composition of Library staff and users; resources and evolution of the collection; services; Open Science and Cadmus, the EUI Research Repository including EUI Academic Publications and Data; and spaces. The accompanying EUI Library Performance Indicators 2009-2021 seeks to disclose a more comprehensive set of data and performance indicators, collected from multiple sources related to the period 2009 – 2021

The information we collect helps provide insight regarding collections and services and possible future trends.
