CAPM User Benefits Study

This report summarizes preliminary findings of the CAPM User Benefit Study. The primary objective of the CAPM User Benefit Study is to estimate user’s preferences for the CAPM system services. Estimated preferences can be used to estimate dollar values for the CAPM system services. Based on preliminary analysis, a reasonable estimate of the average willingness to pay per semester for a basic CAPM system is approximately $63. A secondary goal is to assess the capacity of multi-attribute stated preference methods in evaluating library services in general. Based on the research findings, the research team feels this method is well suited for the analysis of library services.
