Dear Chie and colleagues,
Chie Suga is a good colleague who has visited the
I guess ACE may reply but otherwise to avoid Chie
receiving a host of emails about numbers perhaps Ian Anstice could help with
current CIPFA data and some guidance.
I will ask for her to be sent CILIP’s survey
results.
Others may of course wish to contribute opinions and
views or refer her to Voices et al.
Best wishes to Chie and all
John

Subject: CIPFA statistics
Dear All
Hello, I’m a Japanese LIS researcher studying
public library policy in
service points in 2011-12, which was recently released
by the CIPFA
and also reported by some newspaper articles.
Latest Public Library Statistics Released: CIPFA
statistics
http://www.cipfastats.net/news/newsstory.asp?content=14508
(You have to register to see the tables including the
number of service points)
http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2012/dec/10/uk-lost-200-libraries-2012?CMP=twt_gu
According the CIPFA website, the number of service
points has been changed:
4612 in 2009-10
4466 in 2010-11
4265 in 2011-12
I would like to know whether the latest number, 4265
in 2011-12,
include the service points opening less than 10 hours
per week. The
latest printed statistics, 2011-12 actuals, has not
been arrived to
any libraries in
According the past printed statistics, the number in
2009-10 cited
above (4612) include the service points opening less
than 10 hours per
week, but the number in 2010-11 (4466) exclude
them. In 2010-11, the
number of service points opening less than 10 hours
per week is 126,
so the total is 4592.
I am wondering why the numbers which have different
nature are
compared in the CIPFA website.
Kind regards
