“1. Professional staff and duties

2. Professional support

3. Collection size and development

4. Facilities

5. Curriculum and integration

6. Resource-based teaching

7. Information technology

8. Reference, networking & interlibrary loan

9. Planning/yearly goals

10. Budgeting

11. Policies/communications

12. Evaluation”

It’s not a bad list for self-assessment of a school library either.
