Title: SLA Phil: Defining the Value of Information: Beyond ROI
Location: Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA
Link out: Events at SLA Philadelphia Chapter
Description:
SLA Phila. has generously extended the member price to MLA members for this program by Betty Jo Hibberd.
Information Professionals are constantly being challenged to produce “ROI” statements on their expenditures for information. Upper management may ask, “Why should we spend all this money for information services, when everything we need is available on the internet for free?” This session goes beyond traditional “soft” metrics (e.g. time saved) to take a hard look at the business value information expenditures bring to those who pay for them.
This is part one in a Quantum series called: Justifying the Value of Information Services. Part 2 in this series on cost justification and the budget process (time/cost/quality tradeoffs) will follow in March 2009.
