Libraries are not only storehouses and key contacts for library patrons in accessing numbers, but are also collectors and users of their own data, which is integral to the functioning of the library itself. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe essays in \u003ci\u003eLibrary Data: Empowering Practice and Persuasion\u003c\/i\u003e focus on interpreting and using library-generated and outside data in support of data-driven practice and data-strengthened persuasion. The collection includes such topics as how to make data presentations appealing and effective; applying capital-budgeting models to libraries; and using data for evaluation and improvement of collections and services. Articles also cover specialized scenarios, including reference, collection development, serial acquisitions, institutional repositories, web site design, interlibrary loan, and bibliographic instruction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Darby Orcutt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 159158826X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781591588269\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Libraries Unlimited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.14w x 0.76d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2010 pg. 172","brand":"Darby Orcutt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46962648088831,"sku":"9781591588269","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aa4352b9-78ff-4b3d-bde3-3702d2011e82.jpg?v=1750652100","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/library-data-darby-orcutt-9781591588269","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
