The
Public Library Data Service (PLDS) FY2013 data is now available with
a special section on outcome measures. This valuable data from more
than 1,100 North American libraries can be exclusively accessed and
customized through the online data portal
PLAmetrics. PLDS captures valuable data (voluntarily submitted
annually) on staffing, operating finances, output measures, interlibrary
loans, and technology provisions from public libraries.
Nearly 100% of America’s public libraries offer workforce development training programs, online job resources, and technology skills training, according to a new ALA study. Overall, libraries report technology improvements—including nearly ubiquitous public Wi-Fi, growing mobile resources, and a leap in ebook access. The study also documents digital differences among states and an urban/rural divide.
