Data Dashboard for Library Statistics

If you want to see a one-page summary of the statistics from the 2007-2008 Public Library Survey for Nebraska, take a look at our "Data Dashboard."  There are two versions, one in Excel format and another in an Adobe Acrobat file. Both files are available for download at http://nlc.nebraska.gov/stats/Downloads/20072008stats/index20072008.aspx. (Load legal size paper in your printer, because we couldn't squeeze it all into one regular size sheet). We've tried to create a snapshot of the major data elements along with a few charts that illustrate some six year trends. Also included is some information about the status of Internet connectivity in Nebraska libraries. Charts of trends include circulation, library visits, reference transactions, and use of Internet computers.
