----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Has anyone assessed usage of networked computers in their libraries
(public libraries specifically)?
Specifically what are people doing--
word processing,
internet access generally,
searching resources to which the library subscribes
(such as periodical databases)......?
If so, are people using this information to plan--
services,
websites/website design,
budgets,
technology/computers,
policy?
Can we do that assessment--can we ask those questions?
Since this is a rather broad set of questions I was hoping I could
get some feedback/suggestions/citations before I plunge into
LISA and Lib. Lit.
Thank you...
Matthew Gilmore
