The purpose of this survey was to identify the cooperative library organizations within the United States and to gather information about these organizations. In this survey the Federal/State Cooperative System for Public Library Data collected 34 basic data items for each library and 7 identifying items. The data items include number of service outlets, full-time equivalent staff, income, operational expenditures, capital outlay, library collection, public service hours per week, services per typical week, and inter-library loans. Forty-four states and the District of Columbia agreed to participate in this program.

These layers represent how the public libraries of the U.S. meet their mission to serve their communities. There are two sub-layers:Administrative Entities: representing the headquarters and business data for each library as well as data about each library's collections, public programs, and usage.Outlets: representing the physical characteristics of the main library, its branches, book mobiles, and other outlets.These layers were originally designed for use in the Communicating Geographic Information course (GIS 668) at the University of Redlands, Department of Geographic Information Science. The source of this data is the Public Libraries Survey (PLS), which is a voluntary census of public libraries in the United States conducted annually by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). IMLS collects these data under the mandate in the Museum and Library Services Act of 2010 (PL 111-340), as stated in section 210. Most of the data in these layers is from the Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 survey with data for missing libraries included from surveys going back as far as 2013. IMLS Documentation.The original data files are available on the IMLS PLS web site and are public-use data files. These files have had some data removed to protect the confidentiality of individually identifiable survey respondents. IMLS provides these as "Public-use data files are publicly available without restriction, and do not require a license. Survey data are coded or aggregated without individually identifiable information. Data that could be directly identified with one individual (salaries and wages for librarians for a library with one librarian, for example) are removed." Charlie Frye, Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Redlands, MSGIS Dept. and Chief Cartographer for Esri, converted the original files to point feature classes using the Latitude and Longitude fields, used IMLS documentation to format the fields and create the metadata, the published this layer.

IMLS research initiatives are designed to identify trends and provide valuable, reliable, and consistent data concerning the status of library and museum services, as well as to report timely, useful, and high-quality data to Congress, the states, other policymakers, practitioners, data users, and the general public" (IMLS, 2018).Map compiled and edited by J.J.

The Public Libraries Survey (PLS) provides statistics on the status of public libraries in the United States. It is a voluntary survey conducted annually by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 survey is the 27th in the series. The data files include all public libraries identified by state library administrative agencies in the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the outlying areas of American Samoa and Guam. The reporting unit for the survey is the administrative entity, defined as the agency that is legally established under local or state law to provide public library service to the population of a local jurisdiction. In this survey, the term public library means an administrative entity. For Fiscal Year 2015, IMLS collected the following information via a web-based survey for the PLS: Library Data - Data on each public library, such as its name and address, population of legal service area, service outlets, collections, full-time-equivalent staff, and operating revenue and expenditures. State characteristics data, including the reporting period starting and ending dates, the state total population estimate, and the total unduplicated population of legal service areas for the state. These data are contained in dataset 1 and include 9,251 records; 9,231 were public libraries and 20 were administrative entities that closed or temporarily closed for FY 2015. State Data - Each state library agency reported these data on the "State Characteristics" record because they are not library-level data. These data are in dataset 2 and include 53 records, one for each state and outlying area. Outlet Data - Data on each public library service outlet, such as its name and address, type, county location, metropolitan status, square footage, public service hours per year, and number of weeks a library outlet is open. These data are in dataset 3 and include 17,408 total records. The file includes identifying information and a few basic data items for public library service outlets (central, branch, bookmobile, and books-by-mail-only outlets). The file includes 17,328 outlets in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, 8 outlets in the outlying areas, and 72 records for outlets that were reported as closed or were temporarily closed for FY 2015. This data collection is useful to researchers, journalists, the public, and policymakers at the federal, state, and local levels. These data are used by federal, state and local officials, professional associations, and local practitioners for planning, evaluation, and policy making.

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.

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.
