Hi Carissa,

We now (or about to start) rent out an old storage room in our building near the loading dock.  I'm not 100% sure if we are renting only to groups on campus or to others.  I don't know any more details about how successful, or how much revenue it's generating.  This is something our new leadership has expressed interest in us doing.  I would be curious what other answers you get.

Dear all,
I have been tasked to research ways in which an academic library could possibly be a revenue producing entity at a small university. I have done a literature search, but thought I would pose this question to the collective wisdom (Apologies for cross-posting). 
Any libraries out there that have engaged in revenue generating activities and what have these activities been? What ideas did you come up with? How successful were they? What was more trouble than it was worth? What can a library expect to generate (at best)?
with thanks,
Carissa
