651*** Number of Users of Public Internet Computers Per Year
Report the total number of individuals that have used Internet
computers in the library during the last year. If the computer is
used for mulitple purposes (Internet access, word-processing,
OPAC, etc.) and Internet users cannot be isolated, report all
usage. A typical week or other reliable estimate may be used
to determine the annual number. Sign-up forms or Web-log
tracking software also may provide a reliable count of users.
Note: The number of users may be counted manually, using
registration logs. Count each user that uses public interent
computers, regardless of the amount of time spent on the
computer. A user who uses the library’s public interent
computer(s)three times a year would count as three
customers. Software such as “Historian” can also be used to
track the number of users at each public internet computer. If
the data element is collectedas a weekly figure, multiply that
figure by 52 to annualize it.
