Title

Charging for information : costing and pricing

Source

Managing information. 4(1997) no.8, S.36-37

Year

1997

Abstract

The whole concept of charging for information is one with which a lot of people still have difficulty, especially in the context of the public library. discusses aspects of financial housekeeping including overheads, establishing prices, alternative pricing, and credit control, and argues that the key elements to bear in mind when charging for services are knowledge of the market, financial control and the need to be able to respond rapidly to changing circumstances
