Since the OLA conducted the LibSat Reference Site Peer Review with the Ajax, Barrie, Brampton and Thunder Bay Public Libraries a year ago, the number of LibSat Subscribers has more than doubled. The OLA is now working on a follow-on LibSat Peer Review with the original four reference sites mentioned above and including the Kingston-Frontenac, King Township, Oshawa, Markham, Municipal District #23 (Alberta) and Windsor Public Libraries.

The purpose of the LibSat Peer Review is to help assess how LibSat is performing both as a product and a service. It provides the OLA and Counting Opinions insight into how LibSat is used, how it can it be improved, what challenges exist at public libraries and how these challenges are overcome, what tangible results can be attributed to the use of LibSat, and any best practices.

The LibSat Peer Review is a valuable source of information. You can learn from the experience of existing LibSat Subscribers. It provides insight into best practices, outcomes and practical uses of LibSat. It enables potential Subscribers to assess the use, application and benefits of LibSat and how the results contribute to continuous customer satisfaction and operational improvements.

Once "approved" by all LibSat Subscribers, the LibSat Peer Review will be made public on the OLAStore/LibSat website and highlights will be shared in the next issue of LibSat™ News.

If you would like to be informed when the LibSat Peer Review is complete and the final report is available, please contact Ian Reid at ireid@countingopinions.com.
