THE CORPORATE, BUSINESS OR SPECIAL LIBRARY
The library or information center is an essential tool in the growth of your business and your bottom line. It enables your staff to excel at every level and your clients to reap the benefits of leading edge technology.
The library collections we work with are “specialized” in subject matter and relate to the product, market or industry the company serves.
Fast and efficient access to information is key to besting the competition and key to success in the marketplace. When a company experiences any of the following information constraints, growth is severely cut and costs rise through loss of time, money, and opportunities:
- Items are difficult to locate
- Individuals acquire information and keep it where others cannot locate it
- Lack of communication within and across departments
- Duplicate research and lack of information sharing
- Lack of staff training in searching the Internet and evaluating relevant websites
We work to remedy these impediments to success and will help you create or redevelop a usable knowledge base – whether a physical or virtual resource – that advances your goals and allows you to focus on expanding value, stimulating innovation and creating new opportunities for success.
The Organized Library will:
- Centralize all information to align with your organization’s needs
- Create an electronic catalog (inventory) of resources, accessible on your network
- Devise a budget to maintain and manage the library well into the future
- Hire staff with knowledge of search tools, library capabilities, and mission
- Develop information services for staff, clients or customers
- Help facilitate the efficient use of on-line, digital, and Internet resources
- Maintain, develop, and communicate your organization’s intellectual assets
- Develop strategies to reduce costs and streamline operations
- Define the library’s positioning strategy within the company
- Establish charge-back systems for resources and billable staff time
With these dynamic informational tools at your disposal, you will have the freedom and power to do what you do best.
