The State of Ontario Public Libraries and Select Trends, 2000-2018: A Data Survey
ABSTRACT Canadian public library data are the responsibility of the nation’s various provinces and territories, unlike the US where there is a national-level data collection effort. Ontario public library data are collected and published annually by the province’s Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism, and Culture Industries. The data have been recompiled into a longitudinal file by the Federation of Ontario Public Libraries (FOPL) which has produced two main products from the resulting FOPL Dataset. One is a method for peer comparisons, but the focus in this article is on the second: an annual Report on the condition of these libraries as revealed in each year’s new data. This article highlights results from the latest FOPL Report on the condition of Ontario’s public libraries. In addition, there is an emphasis on the fact that these Ontario data are particularly strong in measuring new capabilities of libraries resulting from changes in the information environment of public libraries.
期刊介绍:
Public Libraries Quarterly is addressed to leaders-directors, managers, staff, trustees, and friends-who believe that change is imperative if public libraries are to fulfill their service missions in the twenty-first century. In PLQ, directors and operating officers tell how they accomplished change. The journal examines: •best practices and models to improve service •management case studies-with results and failures •library mythologies that retard individual and institutional development •studies of how to plan results and accomplish desired outcomes •marketing and fund-raising tools that work •budget and financial analysis tools and tips
