Data from FY2009 Public Library Survey Available

The Library Commission received annual statistical surveys from 82% of Nebraska’s public libraries for the 2008-2009 collection period. That response rate matches last year’s survey participation level. The raw data from the latest Public Library Survey for Nebraska has been compiled into two Excel spreadsheets and is also available this year in comma-delimited format for those who wish to download the data for use in a database or other application that can accept input from a .csv file. You can download these files from the NLC website at http://nlc.nebraska.gov/stats/Downloads/20082009stats/index20082009.aspx Other reports based on these statistics, such as a Data Dashboard, will be available on this site in the near future. Also look for an update of our Nebraska Library Map Mashup with the latest information. If you would like to see other types of reports produced from this or earlier survey data, please leave a comment on this blog entry or contact John Felton Planning & Data Services Coordinator.
