Abstrakt: This article discusses the system and practice of performance assessment (PA) in academic libraries both conceptually and practically. A descriptive analysis of an existing PA system used in a university library is conducted. Three system-inherent problems, i.e., weighting of criteria, the immediate supervisor as the rater, and the purpose of PA, are illustrated. It is concluded that, as a managerial means, the PA system can directly reflect the social and cultural environment of a work place as well as the managerial standards of that administration.
