Abstract
Purpose: due to the importance of the quality assessment of public libraries, this study tries to investigate the full investigation of research is done in this field and present results in the form of a meta-analysis. the main aim of this meta-analysis is to combine and compare the results of the studies conducted in the field of meta-analysis using statistical methods of meta-analysis in order to achieve consistent results.
method: the present study is applicable in terms of practical purpose and in terms of data collection and analysis of meta-analysis. the statistical population of this study consists of the research done on public libraries with the Libqual model between 2009 - 2020. For this purpose, 25 articles and dissertations were Available in scientific databases and after evaluation based on inclusion criteria, 17 studies were reviewed. the data collection tool in this study consists of studies related to the topic and the coding form of meta-analysis. Comprehensive meta-analysis software (CMA.2) was used to calculate the coefficients.
Finding: Based on the funnel diagram and the method of bag-monomodal rank correlation, in the study population, diffusion bias and algebra. Also, according to the value of Q index for 6 research variables and two general cases, and I2 statistics, the researches are not homogeneous. Findings of the study on the difference between the modified standard between the mean maximum and the received showed that the size of the effect of the present study, including the random model, in the “Affect of service” variable provided in the maximum total with a large effect size value and negative difference of -1.13 and in the “Affect of service” provided in the minimum total with a medium and positive effect size value of +66. in the variable of “Information control” in the maximum total with large effect size and a negative difference of -2.2 and in the variable of “Information control” in the minimum total with large effect size and a negative difference of -14; In the “Library as place” variable, it can be interpreted the maximum total with a large effect size value and a negative difference of -2, and in the “Library as place” variable in the minimum total with a large effect size value and a negative difference of -02. In total, the maximum total with a large effect size value and a negative difference of -1.77 and the minimum total with a large effect size value and a positive difference of 1.16 can be interpreted.
Conclusion: Based on the results, it is clear that in the current situation, public libraries have been weak in all variables except for the minimum service variable and they have not been able to meet the minimum expectations of public library users and they do not provide the desired services in almost all dimensions.
