Reports and Charts Overview
The Montana State Library has developed a number of online reports, tools and publications to assist librarians to practically use the statistics in their communities.
Reports and charts are presented in both HTML and Excel depending on the format required for the data type or comparison. Users may view data by individual library, service population, federation, or all libraries.
