Branch Libraries Databases Financial Support Interlibrary Loans Library Circulation Library Collections Library Statistics Library Surveys National Surveys Nonprint Media Public Libraries Reference Services State Libraries The Public Libraries Survey has been conducted annually since 1988 by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) through the Federal-State Cooperative System for Public Library Data (FSCS). The survey collects identifying information and basic data on public libraries (8946 in 1992) and their outlets in the United States; identifying information on library entities that provide public library services but do not meet the definition of a public library, (i.e., state library agencies, and systems, federations, and cooperative services); selected data on state library outlets; and a few data items on characteristics of the state data submission. The survey collects 33 basic data items and 11 identifying items on public libraries. Five files were generated from the survey: (1) the Public Library Data file; (2) the Public Library Outlet file; (3) the Public Library State Summary/State Characteristics File; (4) the Administrative Entities Only/State Libraries File; and (5) the State Library Outlet file. Included in the database documentation are a survey summary; file description; and record layouts. The appendixes include: the survey methodology; guidelines for processing the files; data entry screens; and data element definitions and instructions. (Author/JLB) |
