Some stats of note:

  • 42% of Librarians serve on building tech teams.
  • 19% serve on district teams. Why does this drop? Do they have district representation from their department, or no representation at all?
  • Only 84% of Librarians use subscription-based databases. Do the other 16% have some available, as we do from ELM in Minnesota, or do they not have access to any? Do they not know how to use the databases themselves?
