For public libraries serving populations of 50,000 and more, this volume describes how to do a cost-benefit analysis in determining the value of the library's service to its users. Elliott (economics and finance, Southern Illinois U., Edwardsville) et al. developed and tested this methodology in a research project from 1994 to 2003 at the St. Louis Public Library and School of Business at Southern Illinois U. Edwardsville. They explain the fundamentals, considerations, preparations, and methods for measuring library benefits, costs, and return to taxpayer and donor investments. Communicating findings and evaluating the study's accomplishments are chapters that round out the book. Documents and survey instruments are included.
