[WEB4LIB] Re: Library Web site ROI

[thom]

I've lightly followed the ROI discussion about non-profits and think it
might be interesting if some folks from the west coast got the folks from
The Data Center, (Oakland, CA) involved in this discussion. I worked at
the Data Center years ago for a short period of time and always considered
it one of the most interesting non-profit libraries I have ever seen. It
is a cooperative which is non-profit but has made enough profit to stay in
non-profit business for over 20 years. An unescapable fact of life in
America is that for a non-profit to stay in business it has to make a
small profit which often means evaluation of some form for additional
services.
