Student Return on Investment Calculator

The Student Return on Investment Calculator will help your students, their parents, and your administrators understand:

How much do I contribute to the library?
How does the library spend my tuition money?
How can I get my money's worth?

Samples and development tools are available on the project page: ROI Calculators

IDEA Survey: Assessment of Library Impact and Value

IDEA: Assessment of Library Impact and Value
The PALNI Return On Investment Task Force collaborated with IDEA to create an open source survey instrument for libraries to gather feedback from stakeholders (faculty, administration, and staff).

The survey instrument is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License and is able to be freely used by PALNI, The IDEA Center Inc. and by the general public and other rights as governed by Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License including commercial remix and reuse.

The survey will be a Formative Assessment of the Educational Role and Institutional Effectiveness of the library. We will use the results to Implement Improvements, to Advise Allocation of Resources and to disseminate this information to educate and advocate for the library to the decision-makers on campus.
