Subject: Measures of productivity
Does anyone have any referral sources or information regarding
measures
of productivity in an archives? We are in the process of requesting
additional funding and FTE's for our archives, and have been asked
to
locate information on how other archives measure productivity. For
example, "on average, how long does it take to process a
collection", or
"what is the ratio of intake for a given year to collections
processed
for that year". We, as the archivists here, understand that is a
difficult concept to gauge since every collection is different in
many
respects (i.e. organization at intake, preservation concerns, size
of
collection, size of staff, etc...). But as you know, most budgetary
concerns involve 'numbers' and proving necessity on paper.
Any assistance or direction would be greatly appreciated.
