  The Value of Corporate Libraries - An Interactive Videoconference

Co-Sponsored by the Cincinnati Chapter of the Special Libraries 
Association <http://units.sla.org/chapter/ccin/index.asp>

Our research indicates that corporate managers are not aware of the 
value of the library in their organization. When pressed, fully 
two-thirds of the managers we interviewed could not cite the value of 
this service. This seminar will explore various ideas about and methods 
of evaluation. From this array of options, you will have the opportunity 
to select the one which best fits your organization and your 
management's expectations.

This presentation will benefit those in the management of a corporate 
library and those who wish to manage. The sooner we see evaluation as an 
on-going management tool, the better off our libraries will be.

*Critical Learning Questions*
- What methods of evaluation are available?
- Which method best fits my organization?
- What's involved in starting the evaluation of a company's library?
