Activities for the evaluation of the Florence University Library System have recently materialised in a customer satisfaction survey. The book recounts this experience and illustrates its premises, the phases of implementation, the statistical and library science methods. The survey represents the final stage of an itinerary launched through the reorganisation of the library system in 1994. From that year on, the practice of monitoring has been confirmed as an essential element of the management process. After several years devoted to the enhancement of quality, the users have been invited to express their views on the services apropos effective use and the degree of satisfaction.

The volume describes experiences of the first twelve years of the Social Sciences Library of the University of Florence in its new location. We talk about management contexts, organisational structures, analysis, projects, crises and solutions affecting most of the services. Moreover, we also present an approach and a working method. Our need to write stemmed from the impression of having accomplished a phase of our work and of being called to take stock of the situation, giving account of the work done and critically analysing it, in order to be ready to face the new challenges that the future would present, starting from today.

The Royal Institute of Signore Montalve alla Quiete was born between 1885 and 1886, by the union of the two congregations founded by the venerable Eleonora Ramirez de Montalvo: the Montalve di Ripoli and the Montalve alla Quiete. From them inherits the principles and the educational action carried out for over two centuries, bringing them to the threshold of the new millennium. In this analytical inventory are described the papers produced by the new Institute. The core relating to female education is only one of the subjects that this archive can offer: architectural and social transformations, the two world wars, customs and traditions of population are just some examples of the researchs offered and the Tuscan historical frame that the cards draw in a well-defined way.

This volume is the result of an extensive archival research, and contains the analysis of 120 notarial documents useful for the reconstruction of seventeenth-century Sardinian private libraries. These are mainly post-mortem inventories through which it is possible to detect the consistency and characteristics of the library collections in use by people of different social backgrounds and professional roles. The collected materials make the repertory a valuable tool for scholars of book history and cultural history.
