Where does the library profile come from?

For each Polaris library on this site we try to give you some background information so you have a sense of whether that library is similar to yours or not.

First we look at a library’s website for information.

For statistical information we typically use Marshall Breeding’s Library Technology Guides website (https://www.librarytechnology.org).

Frequently we also like to provide some notes about unique things a library has done with their discovery solution(s).  We take a look at what they’ve got on the web and try to point anything interesting about what that library has implemented.
