Using public libraries from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, via its Public Libraries Survey for 2016, this map shows the population growth or decline within 1 mile's walk of each library. The libraries were downloaded from the PLS site and added as a layer in ArcGIS Online. The layer was next enriched with Esri then-current year population estimates (2017) using an analysis tool in ArcGIS Online, and symbolized based on growth or decline of population within a short walk of each library.

This dataset contains data from the National Center for Education Statistics' Academic Library Survey, which was gathered every two years from 1996 - 2014, and annually in IPEDS starting in 2014 (this dataset has continued to only merge data every two years, following the original schedule). This data was merged, transformed, and used for research by Starr Hoffman and Samantha Godbey.This data was merged using R; R scripts for this merge can be made available upon request. Some variables changed names or definitions during this time; a view of these variables over time is provided in the related Figshare Project. Carnegie Classification changed several times during this period; all Carnegie classifications were crosswalked to the 2000 classification version; that information is also provided in the related Figshare Project. This data was used for research published in several articles, conference papers, and posters starting in 2018 (some of this research used an older version of the dataset which was deposited in the University of Nevada, Las Vegas's repository).SourcesAll data sources were downloaded from the National Center for Education Statistics website https://nces.ed.gov/.
