2013 MnDOT Library Valuation/Return On Investment (ROI) Study Findings

Date Created
2013
Publisher
Minnesota Department of Transportation
Format
Description
This report summarizes results of an April 2013 survey, as well as two types of ROI produced by the library: tangible and intangible. The Tangible ROI was calculated from dollars and time saved, and indicated that for every $1.00 spent on library staff and materials, $1.90 in benefits were returned to MnDOT. Intangible ROI refers to things we cannot measure, such as the value that library-supplied standards and specifications bring to MnDOT’s construction projects, or the value of knowledge gained through the reading of materials supplied by the library. Based on customer feedback, the Intangible Value returned to MnDOT is significant.
