Abstract The evaluation of productivity of main services of city libraries using the example of 48 large public libraries and 44 small public libraries from the Czech and the Slovak Republic was performed according to the decomposition of the input-oriented Malmquist index (MI). The results of MI achieved are evaluated using a confidence interval and the bootstrap method. The productivity of main services of public libraries was studied for the year 2016 in comparison with the year 2012. On average, small as well as large libraries exhibit a statistically significant decline in productivity. The average value of the MI of small libraries is 1.29. The average value of the MI of large libraries is 1.16. The deterioration of productivity was caused by lower efficiency of the inputs. The small as well as the large libraries on average exhibit a comparable level of productivity in both studied years. This conclusion is the same for the Czech and for the Slovak libraries as well as for all libraries together. The Czech libraries, when compared with the Slovak ones, achieve better results in terms of productivity. The higher productivity of the Czech libraries in comparison with the Slovak ones is caused by the improvement of efficiency of the inputs, not by the technological changes.

城市图书馆主要服务的生产力：以捷克共和国和斯洛伐克共和国为例

摘要 以捷克和斯洛伐克的48家大型公共图书馆和44家小型公共图书馆为例，根据投入导向的Malmquist指数（MI）分解，对城市图书馆主要服务生产力进行评价。使用置信区间和 bootstrap 方法评估获得的 MI 的结果。与 2012 年相比，研究了 2016 年公共图书馆主要服务的生产力。平均而言，小型和大型图书馆的生产力在统计上都有显着下降。小型图书馆的 MI 平均值为 1.29。大型图书馆的 MI 平均值为 1.16。生产力的恶化是由于投入的效率较低造成的。平均而言，小型和大型图书馆在两个研究年份都表现出相当的生产力水平。这个结论对于捷克和斯洛伐克图书馆以及所有图书馆都是一样的。与斯洛伐克图书馆相比，捷克图书馆在生产力方面取得了更好的成绩。与斯洛伐克图书馆相比，捷克图书馆的生产力更高是由于输入效率的提高，而不是技术变革。
