SirsiDynix Normative Data Project Updated

The NDP has again been updated. Yay!
There are now data from 252 US systems and 22 Canadian systems with a total of over 1,000 branches. There are 247 million transactions through 2006 Q2 with a smattering of data through Q4. These systems have 31 million titles and 68 million copies.
28 US states are represented. The median population served by US NDP libraries is 15,000. The US median population served is 6,600 so NDP libraries are larger than US libraries although the libraries added in this last batch are quite a bit smaller than those added earlier.
There are no comparable national statistics for Canada but we do hope to have data from the Canadian NDP libraries by next quarter.
You can find out a lot more aboutn the NDP here.
Our good Dr. Data has done some cool state rank order tables too here.
There is free stuff on this site as well as the ability to purchase reports, or a subscription to create your own comparisons and analyses.
