Abstract
Discusses the reasons why the HyLiFe project, which focussed on hybrid libraries, needed to be evaluated, and the ways in which the information gathered was used to solve problems and aid decision making. It reviews who should be involved in the evaluation process, what should be evaluated, the methods to be used, the findings of the process. Most of the difficulties throughout the evaluation concerned people, not technology.
