LIBRARY COMPARISON SITE
The National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) has updated the Library Peer Comparison Tool site on the Web at nces.ed.gov/surveys/libraries/liblocator/library.asp. The information provides a way for library directors and others with an interest to see how their library data matches up with other libraries. The searches can be limited to specific states, or the comparisons can be made on any of the data elements that the libraries have been submitting for the past 11 years as part of the FSCS, so searchers can call up data about libraries with similar budgets, populations, collection sizes, and so on. Be advised that the Peer Comparison Tool works best using the Internet Explorer web browser. |
