[Libs-Or] Library Service by For Profit Companies

[Arlene Weible]

In addition to the checklist, there is a ALA-published book, Privatizing Libraries. A description of the content is here:  http://www.alastore.ala.org/detail.aspx?ID=3431

This book is available from the Oregon State Library’s Library and Information Science Collection<http://osl-lis.blogspot.com/>. Instructions for borrowing materials from the State Library are on this site.

Harold,

Here’s ALA’s checklist for communities considering privatization.  It’s not exactly what you are looking for but does ogre advice on how to walk through the decision process.

Are there resources that provide pros and cons relating to service provided by for profit companies for  library service? Is there something that would be viewed as neutral/fact based by a non-librarian? Does something like a rundown of benefits and consequences exist?
