Use Cases of the ESO Telescope Bibliography

Abstract

ESO’s mission is to enable front-line research in astrophysics by operating and maintaining and a wide range of world-class telescopes and state-of-the-art instruments. Various key performance indicators are used to understand whether ESO is achieving these ambitious goals. In order to assist the ESO Management, the Library builds and maintains the Telescope Bibliography (telbib). telbib provides insights into the performance of ESO’s facilities and helps to understand publishing trends among the user community. This paper will highlight some use cases and recently added enhancements.
