[PL-Directors] 2021 Oregon Public Library Stats Snapshot and 2022 "Meta-Survey" results

[FUQUA Ross * SLO]

Hello Oregon public library directors,
I hope you are all doing well, and I have two pieces of information to share:


  1.  The results are in from our recent "meta-survey," which asked for your feedback on a number of changes we're considering for the 2022 Oregon Public Library Statistical Report.
     *   We had a fantastic response rate on this informal & optional survey, so thanks to all who took the time to complete it. A large majority of respondents are in favor of making all four changes we've proposed (at least 75% of respondents supported each proposal).
     *   Again, we have not yet made final decisions about these data elements for the 2022 stats report, but we really appreciate hearing from you - many of your comments articulated very nuanced points that will help us going forward. You can see a summary of the survey results in this PDF here.<https://libguides.osl.state.or.us/ld.php?content_id=65973419> Please share these results will colleagues who may have responded on behalf of your library.


  1.  I've created a new Oregon Public Library Snapshot<https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/statelibraryoforegon/viz/2021OregonPublicLibrarySnapshot/2021Snapshot> tool that features a select handful of the 2021 Statistical Report data. Choose your library from the dropdown list in the upper left, and download a copy of your library's infographic using the Download PDF button in the upper right. These tools are definitely works-in-progress, so I appreciate any and all feedback. Just a reminder that there is also a 2020 Snapshot<https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/statelibraryoforegon/viz/2020OregonPublicLibrarySnapshot/2020Snapshot> available as well.
