Electronic Access and Research Efficiencies - Some Preliminary Findings from the University of Tennessee Library’s Return on Investment (ROI) Analysis
ER&L Conference Committee November 8th, 2009
This project addresses academic librarians’ growing need to demonstrate the return on investment (ROI) and value of the library to various stakeholders of the institution (faculty, students, policy makers, etc.) and to guide library management in the redirection of library funds to important products and services. The project was part of a study to validate the methodology of the 2008 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign study on ROI that focused on measuring the return in research and grant funding supported by the university’s financial investment in the library. This presentation outlines some of the preliminary findings from the survey, particularly the research efficiencies garnered by faculty taking advantage of electronic access to the Library’s research tools.
