Online Submission, Fast Facts: Recent Statistics from the Library Research Service n214-224 Feb-Mar 2005
Eleven issues of "Fast Facts" from the Library Research Service cover information from libraries across Colorado. These issues focus on topics from the public, academic, and school sectors. These topics include patron use of AskColorado (a statewide virtual reference service) and the rising use of online services. The "Fast Facts" also look at Colorado public library rankings (nationally including its relation to budget cuts), patron support of libraries, the library labor market, an overall view of librarianship in each sector, and challenged materials from 2003 and 2004. The following are "Fast Facts" titles from 2005 included in this document: (1) Challenged Materials in Colorado Public Libraries, 2003; (2) Colorado Public Library Paraprofessional Experienced, Well-Educated Good Candidates for Future Leadership, but They Need Incentives; (3) Librarian among Top Colorado Jobs Requiring Master's Degree through 2012; (4) Diversity of Colorado Library Workers: Professional Self-Perceptions and Portents for the Future; (5) Hourly Wages of Colorado Library Workers; (6) Power Libraries Workshops Prepare--and Motivate--Librarians and Other Educators to Collaborate; (7) Librarianship in Colorado School Libraries; (8) Librarianship in Colorado Academic Libraries; (9) Librarianship in Colorado Public Libraries; (10) AskColorado's First Year Online; and (11) The U.S. Labor Market for Library Workers, 2002-12.
