DOOR COUNT

REMINDER!!!!  Monday, April 21 through Saturday, April 26 is DOOR COUNT

WHAT:             Door Count measures 2 things:

1.       Visitors by the hour, through gate counts
2.       In-House materials used, by the day

Gate counts are measured by recording the P number on your gate each hour. This way we get a general idea of what times of the day are busiest at your location.

In-House material counts are counted manually but we only need a daily total. This count is used by libraries nationally to measure use of print-based materials.


HOW:              Please review the Door Count template before Door Count begins. 

·         Count any item that is removed from the shelf or stacks, by staff or the public. All formats are counted and each physical item is counted as one.
·         Enter your gate’s P numbers hourly and materials use, daily.
·         The Closing P number should be the same as the opening number for the following day.
·         If the gate is broken, the CSD scheduled employee will need to count visitors manually, and will enter the hourly visitor counts into the spreadsheet’s P number section.

·         Su will enter the numbers in the final template (G-drive  Statistics  Door Count).
