The calculator worksheet has been adapted from original downloadable spreadsheet by the Massachusetts Library Association and then adapted for the web by Chelmsford Public Library.

 

How have we calculated the values?

Quite easy really. 

We ran a report showing all items the library has purchased in a 3 month period and worked out an average price.
