This paper outlines results of that task force's efforts to develop and articulate metrics for evaluating the cost and value of cataloging activities specifically, and offers some next steps that the community could take to further the profession's collective understanding of the costs and values associated with bibliographic control.}, number={3}, journal={LIBRARY RESOURCES & TECHNICAL SERVICES}, author={Stalberg, Erin and Cronin, Christopher}, year={2011}, month={Jul}, pages={124–137} } @book{breaux_chapman_coyle_cronin_han_roper_shadle_stalberg_winjum_2010, title={Final report of the Task Force on Cost/Value Assessment of Bibliographic Control}, journal={Technical Report- Not held in TRLN member libraries}, institution={Washington, DC: Heads of Technical Services in Large Research Libraries Interest Group, American Library Association}, author={Breaux, A.-M. and Chapman, J. and Coyle, K. and Cronin, C. and Han, M.-J. and Roper, J.

This paper examines the method used to observe and collect information about serials and electronic resources work, the process of synthesizing that information into a graphical representation of the serials lifecycle, and the workflow analysis undertaken to introduce improved serials processes. The value of the project is demonstrated through a discussion of efforts for workflow education, analysis, and improvement at the NCSU Libraries directly instigated by review of the process documentation by technical services staff members.}, number={4}, journal={Serials Review}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Blake, K. and Stalberg, E.}, year={2009}, pages={242–252} }
