Abstract
All libraries, whether in the public or private sector, operate in a competitive arena. They compete with other organizations for finite and scarce resources in a zerosum game. Unfortunately, there are winners and losers. The losers are not necessarily the organizations that have the least to offer; they are often the organizations least prepared to express their value and contribution in terms understood by their funders.
