Access to Connect is passworded and available to RI public library directors only. You must use the Internet Explorer browser to access Connect. Access Bibliostat Connect.

The Office of Library and Information Services makes available for analysis raw data collected through the 2008 Annual Report Survey for Rhode Island Public Libraries. No corrections have been made to the data and it is presented as libraries have reported it. If you are a RI Public Library director and you are seeking comparative data about RI libraries, we recommend that you first use Bibliostat Connect to view data from the 2005-2008 annual reports. However, salary information is not available through Connect; salary data is made available through the download below. For ease of use, OLIS has calculated hourly wage rates, based on a 52 week year, for positions where only annual salary information was provided.
Please be careful in your use and interpretation of the data. It can be quite confusing to tell definitively to what some of the numbers refer without due deliberation. If you have suggestions for improvements or have developed analyses that would be helpful to the community, please contact Howard Boksenbaum or Karen Mellor.
