Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With tax-funded organizations under microscopic scrutiny, library directors need to make a strong public case for the value their library provides. Measuring Your Library's Value, designed to serve large to medium-sized public libraries, gives librarians the tools to conduct a defensible and credible Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA). Based on research funded by IMLS and PLA, this hands-on reference covers the economic basics with librarian-friendly terms and examples, preparing library leaders to collaborate with economist-consultants. Library directors and trustees will learn how to credibly measure the dollars and cents value your community receives from library services and access proven examples for communicating what different community stakeholders need to hear.
Download or read book The Value of Public Libraries written by Svanhild Aabø and published by Fagbokforlaget. This book was released on 2005 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For hver skattekrone folkebibliotekene får på landsbasis, får innbyggerne fire ganger så mye tilbake. Dette er Svanhild Aabøs konklusjon i en undersøkelse hvor befolkningen ble spurt om å verdsette bibliotekene. 94 prosent av befolkningen mener det er en demokratisk rettighet å ha et folkebibliotek i kommunen. Dette viser at biblioteket har en verdi både for dem som bruker det, og for dem som ikke selv er bibliotekbrukere. I denne avhandlingen presenterer forfatteren resultatene av denne undersøkelsen. Engelsk tekst. 270 s. 2005. Forhåndsomtale.

Download or read book Economic Considerations for Libraries Archives and Museums written by Taylor & Francis Group and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-12 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic Considerations for Libraries, Archives and Museums provides insight into the economics of collaboration across Libraries, Archives, and Museums (LAMs) and cultural heritage funding. Drawing together a series of global reflections on the past, present and future of cross-sector approaches to preserving and promoting cultural heritage, this volume examines the economic prospects of LAMs from a variety of facets. Divided into five sections, the book covers the five most important areas in the development and sustainability of collaborative LAM projects: the digital environment; collaborative models; education; funding issues; and alternate sources of funding. Responding directly to the issue of a lack of adequate funding for maintaining and providing access to cultural heritage resources globally, the book argues that cultural heritage institutions must seek creative methods for funding and collaboration at all levels to achieve shared goals. Economic Considerations for Libraries, Archives and Museums will be of interest to all those engaged in the study of library and information science, archival studies, museum studies and digital preservation. Administrators and practitioners will also find much to interest them within the pages of the book.

Book excerpt: The more libraries can prove that they benefit the business community, the more funding they are likely to receive. Helping Business is designed to guide the public library administrator through the process of assessing their community's need for economic development assistance and carrying out a plan that works. The manual first addresses how to learn about local business' needs through such sources as focus groups, the chamber of commerce and the reference desk. Also covered are techniques to get more involved in the process of helping business; staff training, print and electronic sources for information; developing the support of other agencies; marketing through the press, newsletters, networking and meetings; and assessing and publicising results. An appendix dealing with organising focus groups rounds out this comprehensive guide.

Book excerpt: This work skeptically explores the notion that the internet will soon obviate any need for traditional print-based academic libraries. It makes a case for the library's staying power in the face of technological advancements (television, microfilm, and CD-ROM's were all once predicted as the contemporary library's heir-apparent), and devotes individual chapters to the pitfalls and prevarications of popular search engines, e-books, and the mass digitization of traditional print material.

In an ever more digital and connected world do we still need places of books in our towns, colleges, or schools?
