Exploring the Texas Library Association Data and its Presentation.

The purpose of this project is to gather and study existing data and survey methods surrounding the use of public and school libraries for the past ten years and throughout the United States. It is then necessary to explore ways in which the past data and methods may be improved upon by the Texas Library Association in order to better represent the value of Texas libraries to students and patrons. Finally, methods of framing the data qualitatively and more effectively in order to gain support politically and from local communities will be defined and critically examined.
