[Genealib] Statistics and the Bottom Line

[Janice Schultz]

Kathy and all,
We also collect zip codes.  This shows where our patrons are coming from.  Our local tourism office is very interested in those figures.

Subject: [Genealib] Statistics and the Bottom Line



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
