[OPLINLIST] counting people

Mon Apr 13 13:48:13 EDT 2009

We use a double door counter from 3M at the Harbor-Topky Memorial Library in
Ashtabula.  The sensors need cleaned every few months.  I have been pleased
with the accuracy.

We've had limited success with electronic people counters we've had at our
doors (breakdowns, inaccurate counts, user error), and wonder how different
libraries count their patrons. Do you have electronic counters (which
kind?), or do you have people use hand-held clickers a couple times a year
and then average? Do you use a statistic to tell you how often people use
your library or ...?
