ARL STATISTICS INTERACTIVE EDITION
ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB
The ARL Statistics are available through an interactive edition on the Web,
supplementing previously available data from 1992‐93. Maintained and supported by the
Geospatial and Statistical Data Center at the University of Virginia, this site offers researchers
access to ARL Statistics with documentation.1
The site offers maps and graphics depicting current library trends. For the particularly
adventurous, the site links to an interactive graphics and statistics page, allowing users to
manipulate their data queries. One may chose univariate, bivariate, or multivariate statistics in
addition to a vast array of selections with which to customize a query. The interactive pages
also include options for regional aggregates, customized samples of observations, simple rank
order tabulations of data, and the ability to create ratios of any two variables. These and other
capabilities are located at:
