The Value of the Research Library

By admin

My brilliant friend Gary Price alerted me to this special issue of Research Library Issues that is focused on the value of libraries – my favourite topic.

Anyway, all the articles are linked and free and may prove useful to those academic librarians needing proofs about the value of their libraries, their resources and themselves.

Research Library Issues, no. 271 (Aug. 2010): Special Issue on Value in Libraries: Assessing Organizational Performance
