STUDY OVERVIEW

Shrinking budgets and increasing responsibilities add to the complexities of handling corporate library operations. Best Practices, LLC undertook this study to understand how benchmarked libraries balance budget, resource and service levels in their organization. Metrics and insights in the document will help corporate library managers in allocating the cost and staff hours to various activities.

Corporate libraries can use this study to compare the financial resources, cost recovery practices and penetration of potential user base at their companies with those at leading organizations within the biopharmaceutical and medical device industries.

KEY TOPICS

· Financial resources
· Cost recovery practices
· Distribution of FTE hours by service category
· Penetration of potential user base
· Penetration of potential user base

SAMPLE KEY METRICS

· Total library organization cost of benchmarked companies
· Cost per potential & actual user
· Cost recovery methods used
· Percentage of total FTE hours allocated by process
· Key service strategy areas

SAMPLE KEY FINDING

Cost Recovery: One third of participating libraries do not recover costs for the services and resources they provide, while others used more than one method. The most common cost recovery method is asking heavy user groups to chip in to pay for specialized resources.

METHODOLOGY

Best Practices, LLC engaged twenty-nine companies in this benchmarking study. Among the participants, 17 represented pharmaceutical companies, five were medical devices libraries, and seven represented health science libraries in other industries. Data is presented for the total benchmark class and for the pharma segment.
