[OPLINTECH] Error in oplin.org/datacenter

[Stephen Hedges]

One of the libraries reviewing their data in the public library data 
center (http://oplin.org/datacenter) noticed a discrepancy in their 
"other" FTE number. We discovered that this question was worded 
incorrectly. Instead of asking for the FTE of "other" staff, it should 
have asked for the "Total number of ~all~ staff (FTEs)" to correspond to 
the wording of a similar question in the State Library survey. The 
wording of the question has now been corrected.

Unfortunately, this means you will need to log into the data center and 
make sure your FTE data is corrected for this question. My apologies for 
not catching this error sooner.

Just a reminder, this data does get used, so please try to keep it up to 
date. I used some of the data last week when testifying before the 
Sunset Review Committee, and I know Lynda Murray will be drawing on this 
data to prepare for OLC Legislative Day in a few short weeks. Changes in 
your data over time help us track and report the effect of reduced 
funding on public library services in Ohio.
