In using statistics in decision making, library managers can draw on
five types of available data: library statistics, library salaries, employment
outlook statistics, indexes of inflation and living costs, and demographic
and economic data. In applying these data to management decisions,
library managers can also utilize five strategies: taking the user's point
of view, comparing libraries, tracking trends and making projections,
indexing inflation and cost of living, and putting libraries in context.
Each of these strategies is a proven success, and examples of their use
are provided.
