Task Force on Value Metrics
In January 2013, then-SLA President Deb Hunt created a task force to respond to a letter to the editor from SLA member Deanna Morrow Hall (Information Outlook, Nov/Dec 2012, p. 3). Hall’s letter referenced five studies of corporate library value that SLA had funded in previous years and concluded that “… if corporate libraries are still unable to measure and communicate their value to top management, it is not for lack of definition as to how to do it. Rather, it is the result of a failure of SLA, as their professional organization, to assimilate what is already known, and from this, to create standard templates from which corporate librarians may choose the method(s) most applicable to their individual situations.”

The task force developed a report that highlights the methods used in determining the value of information services in the five studies.

The five value studies that served as the basis of the task force’s report are as follows:
