Every year libraries submit a report to the California State Library filled
with statistical data. What becomes of that data? and how can it be accessed
and used by the libraries that submit it? 

 

This free webinar will give you an overview of the information collected and
reported by California's public libraries. Ira Bray, State Data Coordinator
at the California State Library will explain what is collected, why it is
collected and how analysis and reports from this data are made available. 

 

This webinar is not only for library directors but for anyone who wants to
use library data for management, advocacy or research. No extensive math
skills are required. The discussion will focus on the basics on how the data
is collected, how it is reviewed and how it is utilized. 

 

After viewing this webinar, attendees will be able to: 

 

.                    Be familiar with the data items that are collected and
definitions used for them. 

.                    Identify two new data items that were introduced in
that last three years 

.                    Identify at least three library statistics tools to use
for reports and analysis. 

.                    Identify at least three attributes that could be used
to determine your library's peers.
