Corporate libraries and information centers provide vital and high-skill support to pharmaceutical and medical device companies. However, against a backdrop of dwindling corporate funding and increasing internal service requests, it has become more challenging than ever for library and information center leaders to provide fast, effective critical services to internal customers across the organization.

Best Practices, LLC undertook this benchmarking research to explore the innovative strategies employed by leading pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device corporate libraries to enhance cost efficiency, and improve customer engagement and outreach. This report reveals new 2018 corporate library benchmarks across services, staffing, budget and activity levels.

This report will help library leaders within the pharma and medical device sector to benchmark the scope, volume, cost and delivery of their library services against those of industry standards - and improve planning and performance in 2019.
