(2 April 2014) ALIA reports that a study released today suggests law firms, government departments, associations and other organisations involved with special libraries gain over AUD5 in return for every AUD1 they invest in special libraries.
The Australian Law Library Association, Health Libraries Inc (HLInc), Health Libraries Australia (ALIA HLA, a national group of the Australian Library and Information Association) and the Australian Library and Information Association commissioned award-winning firm SGS Economics and Planning to survey special libraries across the nation and from this to assess the return on the annual investment in these services to their organisations.
The full report Putting a value on priceless: An independent assessment of the return on investment of special libraries in Australia can be downloaded from the announcement.
