The Report on Corporate Library Spending looks at how corporate libraries have altered their spending patterns over the past five years. The spending patterns of a sample of corporate libraries from 50+ major corporations are traced over time.

The report is designed for corporate librarians, corporate planners and vendors of information and other library-oriented goods and services who want to answer the following types of questions: How are American corporations spending their library budgets? Are these budgets increasing or decreasing? Are librarians spending more on salaries or less than five years ago? A greater or lesser percentage of their budgets on periodicals? Are library budgets keeping pace with asset or sales growth or falling behind? What happened to corporate libraries in the early-mid 1990's cost reduction campaigns? What is the outlook for the future? Which factors help to predict corporate library spending?

Corporate Library Benchmarks

American and Canadian corporations. The mean 1999 sale of the companies in the sample was $7.1 billion.
Although the sample focuses primarily on major corporations, the sample also includes data from libraries for
leading MBA programs, major business trade association libraries and business regulatory agency libraries. This
is Primary Research Group's third major report on corporate libraries. The report provides a complete analysis
of how corporate library spending and management practices have changed over the years. Data is broken out
specifically for financial institutions, major consulting firms, manufacturers and utilities, high tech firms, and
media companies. The report gives critical benchmarking data for corporate libraries. More than 250 tables
of data or graphs, many broken out by type of industry and company size, give benchmarking and trend data.
