The Oxford University Library Service is seeking to undertake a review of
library costs and staffing in the context of a recently completed
integration of library services, changes to the method of resource
allocation within the University and a need to examine value for money
issues throughout the service.
This project will require the support of a consultant or consultants in
order to advise on the most appropriate techniques and approaches to be
used, to assist with the gathering of existing data, to undertake work to
provide new information where necessary and to produce recommendations for
future action.
I would be grateful if anyone who has undertaken a similar project could
recommend either individuals or companies who have provided satisfactory
consultancy support. It would also be interesting to hear in any case of
activity costing exercises, or similar projects carried out for academic
library services.
