| Abstract: | This research brief describes recent methodological initiatives with the Public Libraries Survey. It describes how starting with the 2022 data, Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) updated geographic identifiers to better align Census Bureau geography types with the library's legal service area, with the goal of enabling data users to link PLS data with other geographical data more easily (e.g., the American Community Survey) and is assessing the feasibility of outlet-level data collection over the next year. |
