Cost/Benefit Analysis
Maximize benefits for a given cost
Minimize costs for a given level of benefits
Maximize the ratio of benefits over costs
Maximize the net benefits (Present value of
benefits over present value of costs)
Maximize the internal rate of return (ROI)

How Add Value to Information?
Organizing– Grouping– Classifying– Relating– Formatting– Displaying
Analyzing– Separating– Evaluating– Validating– Comparing– Interpreting– Synthesizing

Value of a Library’s Collection
Cost of $50 to purchase and catalog each title
times Number of titles in collection, e.g., 50,000
= Value of the library’s collection or
$2,500,000
![Page 13: Value of Library Services A presentation to the Joint Chapter Professional Development Day by Joe Matthews.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062318/5514e3cd550346a80c8b4774/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Value of a Library’s Catalog
Total cost of cataloging =[(Cost of shared cataloging * % shared) +
staff costs for shared cataloging] +
Cost of original cataloging (% needing original cat. * staff costs to do original cat.)
![Page 14: Value of Library Services A presentation to the Joint Chapter Professional Development Day by Joe Matthews.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062318/5514e3cd550346a80c8b4774/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Example
Adding 1,100 titles
[$1.75 *(95.5% * 1,100) or $1,838 +
($20/title * 1,050) or $21,000 = $22,838
+
original cataloging (50 titles * $50 per title)
or $2,500
Total Cost of Cataloging = $25,338
or $23.03 per title record
![Page 15: Value of Library Services A presentation to the Joint Chapter Professional Development Day by Joe Matthews.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062318/5514e3cd550346a80c8b4774/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Collection ROI
Collection value = $2,500,000 Annual circulation = 150,000
ROI Analysis
(150,000 * $23.03/record) / $2,500,000
or Collection ROI = 14 cents per circulation
If circ. goes up, Collection ROI also goes up
![Page 16: Value of Library Services A presentation to the Joint Chapter Professional Development Day by Joe Matthews.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062318/5514e3cd550346a80c8b4774/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Enhanced MARC Records
Cost per record = $1, 40% match 10% increase in collection utilization 50,000 titles * 40% = 20,000 titles
ROI Analysis
$2,500,000 collection value * 10% = $250,000
$250,000 / 20,000 enhanced records
value = $12.50 per enhanced MARC record
![Page 17: Value of Library Services A presentation to the Joint Chapter Professional Development Day by Joe Matthews.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062318/5514e3cd550346a80c8b4774/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Authority Records
50,000 authority records 10% increase in collection utilization
ROI Analysis
$2,500,000 collection value * 10% or
$250,000 / 50,000 authority records or
value = $5.00 per record
![Page 18: Value of Library Services A presentation to the Joint Chapter Professional Development Day by Joe Matthews.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062318/5514e3cd550346a80c8b4774/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Additional Indexes
Collection value = $2,500,000 10% increase in collection utilization
ROI Analysis
$2,500,000 * 10% or
Value of additional index = $250,000
![Page 19: Value of Library Services A presentation to the Joint Chapter Professional Development Day by Joe Matthews.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062318/5514e3cd550346a80c8b4774/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Value of Location & StatusInformation for a Firm
Value for a professional = $120/hour Time spent making a trip to the
library = 15 min.
Online access means reduced trips
# trips per day reduced x value of prof. = value of increased productive time of prof.
50 trips/day x 15 min x $2/min = $1,500
![Page 20: Value of Library Services A presentation to the Joint Chapter Professional Development Day by Joe Matthews.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062318/5514e3cd550346a80c8b4774/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Location & Status Information
Save $1,500 / day or $390,000 / year
ROI Analysis
$390,000 / 50,000 volumes or value of
location & status information =
$7.80 per volume
![Page 21: Value of Library Services A presentation to the Joint Chapter Professional Development Day by Joe Matthews.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062318/5514e3cd550346a80c8b4774/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Location & Status Information
Annual circulation of 50,000 items Manual circ. system experiences a 3% loss
or 1,500 items per year Automated circ. System has 1/2 of 1% losses
or 250 items per year
ROI Analysis
1,250 items not lost x $50 = $62,500
$62,500/50,000 = $1.25 per item
![Page 22: Value of Library Services A presentation to the Joint Chapter Professional Development Day by Joe Matthews.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062318/5514e3cd550346a80c8b4774/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Value for an Individual
The library’s bibliographic records typically have little direct value for an individual.
Difficult to assign value for these records even if used by an individual.

Use authority control records
Review frequency of subject headings
Add enhanced MARC records

Communication
Measuring the value of information
or the value of library services
is a “hollow” activity
unless effective communication
with decision makers is taking place
