Hi to you all
I am a librarian working for a mental health trust in the north east of England. The trust is very wide spread geographically. I have been in post four months, prior to my appointment there was no library service except for SLAs with four acute trusts. I am lookinfg at reviewing the SLAs and holding a small core stock but also several (possibly ten) resource rooms with stock and computer access on various sites throughout the trust, managed hopefully by existing admin staff as an additional duty. I have been asked by the Board of Directors to give a financial breakdown/projection for the next three years of costs of setting up and running this service.
How long is a piece of string?
I have no previous usage stats, only number of staff within the trust. I also have great geographical differences between the north and south of my patch. I would appreciate any help. If any one has done this sort of work before please contact me.
PS they want it yesterday of course!
Thanks in anticipation
