At Birmingham City University we are investigating the feasibility of benchmarking our collection management activity with other UK universities.
Have any of you any experience of benchmarking?
If so, will you be happy to share any of the information you gained with us or give any advice on how to develop a benchmarking group? Are there any pitfalls we should avoid? – What do you see as the pros and cons of benchmarking – are there any significant problems we may need to overcome?
If you haven’t undertaken benchmarking are there any reasons why not?
In order not to clog up the list, please send replies direct to me at : [log in to unmask]
Thanks for your help – I look forward to hearing from you with your experiences and will be happy to summarise for the list if there's interest.
