Hello
I'm a Librarianship student at Sheffield and am looking at the use (or non-
use)of community profiling in public libraries throughout the UK for my
dissertation.
Are you aware if your library has a community profiling strategy?
Are you part of a management team who uses council data, the census or
online resources to find out about your community?
Are you a community librarian who is frustrated by not having the time to
go out into the community and discover new users or do you, in contrast,
receive regular information from management about new groups in the
community and their needs?
Are you a Librarian who feels they could benefit from more regular
community information to assist with stock selection and service provision?
Do you have your own ideas about improving kowledge about your community?
I will be sending out questionnaires to Library authorities but any, more
informal, comments regarding this would also be enlightening. Thanks for
reading this.
