The State Library’s Library Research Service (LRS) provides library professionals, educators, public officials, and the media with research and statistics about libraries. LRS reports and analyzes statistics on school, public, and academic libraries, and conducts studies on major library issues that are reported in the Fast Facts and Closer Look series. Find library research news on the LRS News page.
LRS also hosts and supports the popular Library Jobline job resource and DART reference tracker tool.
