Abstract

University libraries provide forceful support for teaching and scientific research in universities, therefore the efficiency and its influencing factors of university libraries should be evaluated and analyzed, which is good for university libraries to play an important role in scientific communities. Firstly, the Stochastic Frontier Analysis method is used to evaluate the library efficiency of Shandong University of Business and Technology. The results show that the library efficiency shows an increasing trend from 1985 to 2019. Secondly, multiple regression econometrics model is used to analyze the factors affecting efficiency, and it is found that the number of students, the number of faculty, the purchase cost of electronic resources, the purchase cost of paper resources, the number of library staff, the number of hours of opening per week, the floor area, and the automation of business management are positively correlated with service efficiency. three Suggestions are put forward to enhance the service efficiency of library. (1) To realize the mutual match between the supply side and the demand side of library service; (2) Extend the opening hours of libraries to exchange time for space; (3) Carrying out the construction of intelligent library scientifically and rationally.
