To use Compare Academic Libraries:
- Select the library of interest for which you want to find a comparison group.
- Choose the basis for identifying similar libraries (the “Comparison Group”): e.g. size of staff.
- Choose the information you would like displayed in the report.
- View the report, which compares your library of interest with its comparison group.
