Virtual versus traditional libraries: As information experts, LAC has the knowledge and experience to help you review many important business considerations in creating or transitioning a print collection to a virtual operation.

Be in the driver's seat when negotiating contracts: We keep ahead of the dizzying array of changes in how information is produced, licensed, acquired and distributed. Our Strategic Consulting division helps you evaluate your print and electronic spending. We offer invaluable advice on how to negotiate and enterprise wide and one-off licenses for electronic resources.

Out with the print - and in the with digital: Digitizing assets is a complex goal that involves assessing your company’s work flow, space planning, preservation and storage. Once the major transformative work has been accomplished, we help you organize, administrate and access your information in a clear and simple manner.

Staffing audits: We include an analysis of the operation/function and work flow, as well as in-depth objective interviews with individual staff members.

Needs assessments: How well are those in your organization served by the library, the records department, knowledge management or IT? LAC works with you to analyze and provide constructive, fact-based evaluations to help you provide more efficient service and better long-term planning.

User surveys: LAC conducts a variety of surveys — electronic, in-person, group, or individual interviews -- to assess your clients’ wants, needs, opinions and expectations. Our consultants will help you to create and implement service-level agreements, policies and procedures to enhance your b2b relationships.

Space Planning and Moving: Our consultants can help you plan new work space, collection space, layout and design, and help prepare the collection for a shift, build-out, redesign, or move to a new location.
