White Paper - Determining Staff Cost Savings Using the NCIP Calculator

Developed by Auto-Graphics, Inc., the NCIP Savings Calculator permits librarians at the state or local level to estimate the number of staff hours, and thus staff costs, one or more libraries can save when implementing the NISO Circulation Interchange Protocol (NCIP) between the resource sharing system and one or more local circulation systems. Two calculators are provided: one for individual libraries and the second for statewide calculations.
