National Data Collection Models for Public Library Network Statistics and Performance Measures
Charles McClure
Description
The Institute received a 2000 National Leadership Grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to conduct this study. It addressed the ways in which to design and implement a national data collection, analysis, and reporting system for public library network statistics and performance measures that is both accurate and reports data in a timely fashion. At the time there was no such system in place.
The goal of the study was to develop a process whereby the public library community, state library agencies, policy makers, researchers, and others could have accurate and timely national data that described networked services, resources, and activities.
