The following quote is from the Wiley-Blackwell Medical Library Newsletter, Spring Edition. The “Valuing Library Services Calculators” are the ones that Betsy Kelly and Barb Jones developed in their work for the National Network of Libraries of Medicine MidContinental Region.
“Alison Clapp, MLIS at Children’s Hospital Boston recommended that librarians consider using one of the “Valuing Library Services Calculators” (such as the MidContinental Region one athttp://nnlm.gov/mcr/evaluation/calculator.html) to demonstrate the value of library services without having to charge individual patrons. She suggested that the calculator would enable even a small library to prove its value.”
