<pre><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The draft public library data for fiscal year July 1, 2012-June 30, 2013 is now available through the Oregon State Library, Library Development Services web pages at <a href="http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/statsploregon.aspx">http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/statsploregon.aspx</a>.</span><o:p></o:p></pre>

<pre><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">As always, please take a few minutes to check your library's information for accuracy. We have fixed a number of things, but please take a close look at your data for: other staff, expenditures, circulation, programming, and reference.</span><o:p></o:p></pre>

<pre><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Circulation and downloadables</span></b><o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Note that there are tabs on the bottom for the break-out of circulation, as well as details of downloadable or e-item ownership. Please check that your library’s circulation includes Library2Go usage of your patrons. If you are with a federation or cooperative that purchased downloadable items from Overdrive in excess of the statewide contract, please check the e-items tab’s local/cooperative holdings columns for all you</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#1F497D">r</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""> libraries. If your purchasing group cannot track downloadable item circulation by particular library, they may mathematically distribute a portion of that circulation to member libraries.</span><o:p></o:p></pre>

<pre><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Databases</span></b><o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Note that Freegal should be counted as a database and downloads are not circulation, and tutor.com is not counted as it’s a service. Freading should be counted as a database.</span><o:p></o:p></pre>

<pre><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Programs</span></b><o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Do not count meetings of advisory groups under programs. Also, passive programs where people sign up, turn in a reading log and get a certificate do not fit the definition of programs and should not be counted. The Summer Reading Program should be counted not as one program, but rather count every event in the series.</span><o:p></o:p></pre>

<pre><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Reference</span></b><o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Remember that reference includes teaching computer use one on one, as well as reader’s advisory. If reference less than 300 a year, it’s probably a substantial underestimate.</span><o:p></o:p></pre>
