[Genealib] Statistics and the Bottom Line

[Nancy Maxwell]

Kathy:

Grapevine Public Library uses these stats:

In-house count (which includes books, CDs, and microforms)

Patron sign-ins

Reference queries, including directions, hours, Internet, CDs, and TexShare (these can be by e-mail, phone, or in-house)

Circulating genealogy books (how-to, ethnic, on-line research)

Hello,

I have been asked to use my genealogy collection usage statistics to justify my budget. I would like to know what statistics everyone uses to do the same. We use our "In-house Count" since our collection does not circulate. What other stats does everyone add to the in-house counts to show usage.

Thanks so much
