“More than 60% of managers
responsible for evaluating the
library and approving/justifying
library budgets do not know the
value of their library!”— Matarazzo and Prusak 1990 Lustig 2008

“The contributions of information
professionals may not be
perceived to be of high value if
results are not measured and
presented in terms that resonate
within the organization.”—Jan Sykes 2001

Duplication of Research
John Martyn. Unintentional Duplication of Research. New Scientist, 377, 1964, p. 338.
– 647 British scientists – 22% of researchers had missed relevant information that would have saved time, money, or work.
– £640 million spent on R&D—about £140 million wasted on duplicated research
![Page 38: How to Determine the Value of Your Library](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102901/556356a5d8b42aed538b51af/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Duplication of Patents
• European Patent Office – Estimates the cost of duplicate research
to be €20 billion a year in Europe alone – 30% of all R&D expenditures wasted on duplicating existing inventions
• Finnish National Board of Patents and Registration– 33% of patent applications were
submitted for already existing patents

“… a significant and growing number
of very expensive lawsuits occur each
year because firms have invested
millions of dollars on the research,
development, and commercialization
of technology that is legally owned by
others.“—James Bessen and Michael Meuer

IT professionals spend 2 hours a day searching the Web for information – and that information is frequently wrong or incomplete.
Consequences:• Component of the IT network fails to work• Bugs introduced into software• Time wasted• Need to re-do projects
![Page 41: How to Determine the Value of Your Library](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102901/556356a5d8b42aed538b51af/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Money• Jose Marie Griffiths & Don King– Time & effort to find information with and
without a library per professional staff member per year
– $29,235 versus $43,350 (with no library)– Difference of $14,115– If 100 professionals, saving of $141,150
per year– Conservative estimate

Cost Benefit Analysis
• Identify the value of the benefits identified by users in a survey
• Total the total value of the benefits
• Compare to the library’s total budget
• Result is a cost-benefit analysis – sometimes called a Return on Investment (ROI)

What to do?• Simply choosing to measure
value and to adopt a value-
oriented mindset lays the
ground work for library success
• The most important question to
answer: How much good does
the library do?
![Page 50: How to Determine the Value of Your Library](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102901/556356a5d8b42aed538b51af/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
What to do?1. Determine the kind to measures and
stories that will resonate with your
organization’s management
2. Send out a (email) survey 2-3 days
after each contact to ask for
feedback and an estimate of the
value of services received
3. Engage clients in conversations
about the impact of the library (keep
track of these)
