Find Your Library in the LJ Index of Public Library Service 2009
-- Library Journal, 2/15/2009
The
LJ Index 2009 rated a total of 7,115 public libraries from across the nation. If your library was not given a star rating, you can still benefit from finding peers in your expenditure category and comparing stats, as well as mining the
Models You Can Use section. You can find your library by searching
this document of all included libraries or checking
this document of all excluded libraries to see if your library was excluded from the
LJ Index for a particular reason (to search these documents click on a cell within the tables, press Control-F, and make sure that "Search all sheets" is checked).
To download the data from either of these documents for use in Excel or other programs, choose "Export" from the "File" menu and select your preferred file format there.
If your library subscribes to Bibliostat Connect, you can search all of the included library data dymically there.
If you cannot find your library among the 7,115 included in the rating, please review which libraries were
included, or check the
document listing excluded libraries.

LJ hopes to see your library in the next round.
