Librarians who implement the highly practical EBSM methodology consistently save time and money whilst improving the performance of their stock and aligning it with their local demand.
EBSM is a complete methodology for Library Stock Performance Improvement which assists librarians in making the management of stock more effective, more customer focused, less wasteful, and more measured and performance based.
Pioneered over the last 15 years by George Kerr, library consultant for Bridgeall Libraries, EBSM evolved from George's own dissatisfaction with having to purchase new stock and plan stock movement with totally inadequate data.
The repeatable EBSM framework that has evolved to address this uses data from a Library Service's own LMS database along with local target setting as its evidence base. The power of the methodology comes from the EBSM toolset which uses this evidence base to perform complex comparisons between the locally set targets and the current situation, and then to provide a series of action plans to help drive performance towards targets.
EBSM today is practiced by many Library Services across the globe, who are now able to demonstrate superior stock performance and realise the many time and money saving benefits that come from an evidence based improvement framework, and more importantly deliver the improvements in stock provision to meet ever increasing customer demands.
ebsm.com, the authoritative guide to EBSM, charts the history of its development through to today, and contains a detailed walkthrough of the principles of the methodology.
