The Public Libraries Survey also referred to as the PLS or Annual Public Library Statistics examines when, where, and how library services are changing to meet the needs of the public. These data, supplied annually by public libraries across the country, provide information that policymakers and practitioners can use to make informed decisions about the support and strategic management of libraries. In Montana, the PLS is also required under Administrative Rule and the essential Public Library Standards. Through this session, attendees will:
Learn how to navigate Montana's new PLS software, LibPAS Address common questions about the PLS such as financials and programs Preview new data elements Discuss ways to use PLS data for informing important decisions Discover the bells and whistles of report templates
