National Collection of Statewide Network Statistics

This proposed project is designed to work with interested state library agencies to collect selected public library related network statistics from public libraries, state library agencies, and appropriate consortia through the Institute's Clearinghouse. The project intends to collect, analyze, and report selected public library network statistics on a statewide basis with the possibility of eventually building a national set of public library network statistics for peer, state, and national comparative and decision making purposes.
