Quantitative Study of the Value of Research Libraries: A Foundation for the Evaluation of Digital Libraries.
Kantor, Paul B.; Saracevic, Tefko
Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, v36 p407-19 1999
Results of a study that evaluated 21 diverse services at 5 major academic research libraries demonstrate that a cross-functional approach to library services is feasible. Findings also highlight a new measure of impact, which is a weighted logarithmic combination of the amount of time that users spend interacting with the service, combined with a Likert-scale indication of the value of that service, in relation to the time expended.
