Book
Snyder, H., & Davenport, E. (1997). Costing and pricing in the digital age: a practical guide for information services. Neal-Schuman Publishers

The take-up of electronic information services has been retarded as much by the novel aspects of the pricing and accounting of resources they represent as by fear of technology or tight budgets. Library provision poses special problems as it must acc... Read More about Costing and pricing in the digital age: a practical guide for information services..
