Defining your Market Area
Bob Molyneux, Dr. Data and Chief Statistician at SirsiDynix has a nice entry on his blog here.
Basically he is describing a quick and easy way to use the Normative Data Project to understand the nature of the community that surround your public library branches.
And Christie Koontz, Director, GeoLib www.geolib.org/PLGDB.cfm also asks the question of why we don't use this data more now that it's so easy. She's an expert in the use of GIS for libraries.
Both are going to do free SirsiDynix Institute sessions on this topic in the new year.
Interesting.
