Many librarians offer press clipping services. Do they know the value of their services? Can the put a price tag? (and recover the costs involved?).
Following message gives an idea how much BMC (Bombay Municipal Corporation) is spending on acquiring information through press clippings.

================= 16. bmc does read newspaper articles Posted by: "karmayog.org" info@karmayog.org Date: Thu Sep 20, 2007 10:06 pm ((PDT))
It seems that BMC gives a yearly contract of Rs. 1.5 crores to read and cut and file articles from newspapers.
One would like to know how the files are circulated internally. =================
