Why?
1. To make decisions and rethink old ones
2. To demonstrate return on investment or the value of the library’s collections and services
3. To improve services and collections

Explicit Value of Reading Articles
Ask directly What was the purpose of your reading? How valuable was the reading to you?

What faculty say…
How did we ever get along without electronic journals?
The ability to obtain articles online has made [my work] much more efficient and more thorough.
I use electronic media for 90% of my literature searching. This has been true for 10 years now.
![Page 16: Perceptions of Value and Value Beyond Perceptions Carol Tenopir University of Tennessee ctenopir@utk.edu web.utk.edu/~tenopir](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f295503460f94c43389/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What faculty say…
I have dropped some personal subscriptions as they have become available on-line. I rarely visit the library in person anymore… which, compared with the ease and convenience of doing literature searches, downloading and printing from my office/computer, takes too much time.
![Page 17: Perceptions of Value and Value Beyond Perceptions Carol Tenopir University of Tennessee ctenopir@utk.edu web.utk.edu/~tenopir](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f295503460f94c43389/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What students say…
Finding articles online is so much easier and faster than finding articles in dusty journals in musty corners of the library.
I have found electronic journals an invaluable aide as it means I do not have to travel to the Uni for every little article (which takes AT LEAST 1 hour.)

Implicit Values of Reading Articles
are easier to collect (downloads) don’t necessarily involve users directly
(log files) are easier to quantify are particularly valuable for measuring
changes over time, such as increased use of e-journals.

Implicit Value of Reading Articles
Users are “willing to pay” with their time
-Faculty spend on average ~143-159 hours per year just reading
-Medical faculty spend on average ~168 hours per year just reading
Achievers read more than others

Definition of Contingent Valuation
Contingent Valuation is an economic method used to assess the benefits of non-priced goods and services (e.g., libraries or specific library services) by examining the implication of not having the product or service. (Donald W. King)
