BUSLIB continues to unearth treasures, such as a 2004 study by Amy Hartson Davis (available here as a PDF) which demonstrates that corporate libraries have higher utilization rates if they eschew the term “library” in their names. Her sample was 56 Fortune 250 libraries, and utilization rate was calculated based on estimated annual requests divided by estimated number of employees served.
Established librarians and students, how do you feel about this?
