*State Library Statistics*

The ALA Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP) 
<http://www.ala.org/ala/aboutala/offices/oitp/index.cfm>, in partnership 
with the Information Institute at Florida State University, has 
developed a new tool for library advocates: the *State Statistics Module*.

This interactive website contains copious information about broadband 
connectivity in libraries and allows for the creation of customized 
reports, based upon 11 variables from the "2006 Public Libraries and the 
Internet Study." Users have the opportunity to create tables and charts 
of data at the national and state levels and create comparisons of the 
data. Users also have the ability to write descriptions of the graphs 
and tables, as well as an introduction and conclusion to their report.

Ideally, this website will be used for the creation of reports to use as 
handouts to both federal, state and local policy makers, when advocating 
for libraries at national events such as National  Library Legislative 
Day 
<http://www.ala.org/ala/aboutala/offices/wo/washevents/nlld/nlld2009.cfm> 
and at state library legislative events.
