This guide presents a tested model of community analysis for delivering client-centered, transformative library services across public, academic, school, and special libraries. It provides both the rationale and practical steps to:
Understand community characteristics and information needs.
Gather and interpret data through surveys, agency analysis, and demographic studies.
Plan, implement, and evaluate tailored information services in context.
Use a customer-service philosophy to prioritize resources and support underrepresented populations.
Complete with a case study, theoretical framework, and extensive tools, it combines research with real-world usability for library leaders and evaluators.
