  • Abstract
    Most scientific organizations have accumulated large collections of data over their lifetime. How much this information is worth, is discussed with reference to the literature on the economics of information and library services. Factors are identified which enhance the value of data. These factors are illustrated with case histories from the Atlantic Geoscience Centre. The level of resources necessary to preserve or enhance the value of data are explored.
