    Why is your local library data nerd smiling? 2019 PLS data is out - - while also still dreaming of a consolidated complete PLS with an API

    It is not a perfect measure but we hope this might provide some insight into which states have been successful over a longer period of time at securing commitments and whether there are models in those states that can be replicated to increase commitments for participants

    We are planning on adding new dashbaord features that will hopefully make it easier to see some of these trends at a state level over time, albeit in a simplistic manner at the beginning (think a table of rankings over 5 years and an average rank)

    Although we are doing this at the state level, not a library system level. CA still holds up well in 2017 by this measure also, but drops to #4 overall in commitments (see pic)

    Table from https://uwtascha.shinyapps.io/eRate_dashboard/ showing the funding year 2017 rankings of the top 4 states by the average per entity funding commitments with District of Columbia 1st with $33,851.21; Alaska 2nd with $20,098.78; Indiana 3rd with $19.925.02; and California 4th with $19,794.05

    We wondered if this held true if you looked at other ways of measuring besides just total funding commitments. So we started looking at other measures, such as average per entity (in this case this is equivalent to looking at the library outlet level) & also a per capita measure

    One of the first things I noticed when e-rate dashboard () was up & running was CA had a high percentage of overall funding committed to library entities. On an annual basis, CA often doubled the percentage of the nearest state (see pic)

    Table from https://uwtascha.shinyapps.io/eRate_dashboard/ showing top 4 ranked states in funding year 2017 by the percentage of total library funding commitments with California first with 16.49%, New York 2nd with 6.31%, Indiana 3rd with 5.97%, and Ohio 4th with 4.40%.

    Facepalm for when you get your colleague's Twitter handle incorrect - let's try again - talking about e-rate and the great dashboard that my colleague built from the tangled mess of my thoughts to try to see patterns in funding commitments

    One of my professional colleagues sent me a library vendor privacy policy last week & asked about some questionable practices in the policy. What came next is a cautionary tale of the murkiness that is library vendor privacy policies in a time of company acquisitions. 🧵

    The increase, of course, got us thinking - where did that come from? The majority comes from New Mexico - commitments in Category 1 to library entities in the Land of Enchantment increased from $502,414.77 in funding year 2019 to $37,157,597.00 in funding year 2020

    We see this growth in another summary that is also on the national page that gives us a subcategory breakdown of commitments and you can see the jump in the Data Transmission / Internet Access subcategory

    "Young, a CIP research fellow and senior research scientist at the Technology & Social Change Group, brought up an important notion about misinformation: Think of it as more than just the falsehood of information. "

    To help mitigate the impacts of misinformation, “[c]ommunity solutions are harder than technical solutions alone, but they can offer a more transformative impact along the way,” Jason Young, a research fellow, said during a January virtual lecture.
