Academic Libraries: The Lib-Value Thesaurus and Bibliographic Database

Here’s a potentially very useful 64 page reference resource (PDF) that might be useful when conducting research about library value measurement (value, outcomes, ROI).
This thesaurus comes from the IMLS-funded Lib-Value project and is designed to work with the Lib-Value Bibliographic Database but will likely be of value in many situations.
It contains more than 900 individual entries from library literature.
This thesaurus was compiled and organized by Miranda Orvis, Denise F. Quintel,  Rachel Fleming-May from the University of Tennessee. 
Access to the thesaurus and database are free.
