IN <br />Currently, OCPL collects monthly statistical data that must be reported on an annual basis to the web -based State Library Data survey that <br />provides advanced analysis and reporting for library metrics and data. These metrics are then fed into the National Public Library survey, which <br />has collected national data over the past 20 years. These web -based programs provide public libraries the opportunity to analyze and view <br />library statistics as they relate to their individual performance as well as compare to other national public libraries. These stats are available to <br />mark trends, shifts in library use, and establish benchmarks. <br />As OCPL is no longer part of a regional library system, it will be possible for the first time to take our data and compare it to state and national <br />metric reports. These reports will allow us to complete peer review comparisons with libraries both across the state and nationally, providing <br />benchmarks for the future. During year one, OCPL will work with the State Library of North Carolina to identify 5 -7 peer libraries in NC, and <br />nationally. <br />Strategic Pi it Library Collections t i <br />Source Method: Library Circulation records <br />Indicator <br />Baseline <br />Goal <br />Benchmark (Source: State Library of <br />FY2013 <br />FY2014 <br />North Carolina Annual Statistics FY2012) <br />Output: <br />69.07% <br />72% <br />N/A <br />Increase % of collection circulated in the last year <br />Increased annual circulation per capita <br />5.49 <br />5.5 <br />3.94 (NC avg) <br />Increased average annual use per item <br />3.92 <br />4.5 <br />N/A <br />Efficiency: <br />3.77 <br />3.5 <br />4.63 (NC avg) <br />Decrease cost per circulation <br />Outcome: <br />TBD in November <br />55% <br />N/A <br />Increased Customer Satisfaction with our <br />through customer surveys <br />collections and materials <br />OCPL DRAFT Strategic Plan 2013 -2016 Page 17 <br />
