-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dawn Vogler Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 4:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [slm] Valuing Library Services Hi everyone, Periodically, I've fielded questions on how best to represent the economic impact of our libraries here in Texas. I just ran across this organization's website that is funded in part by the Gates Foundation: http://www.actforlibraries.org/alcreports.php They have some research reports available for free download. One that might be of particular interest was published in May 2007 and is called Worth Their Weight: An Assessment of the Evolving Field of Library Valuation. Overall, a great website with various reports that could help make the case for your library in the future. Thanks, Dawn Dawn Vogler Library Management Consultant Texas State Library & Archives Commission PO Box 12927 Austin, TX 78711-2927 (512) 936-4449 phone (512) 463-8800 fax _______________________________________________ slm mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.tsl.state.tx.us/mailman/listinfo/slm
