Fishing with grenades or greening the mind: Value, values and municipal libraries for the new millennium
Abstract
Looking at the value of public libraries in society, this paper discusses actual potential and unrealised value in the Australian context. Value is analysed in relation to an increasingly competitive environment, and with particular reference to library collections and their enduring place in the services provided by libraries. In addition, measuring library performance is stressed as a significant factor in determining the value of libraries.
