About the Global Library Statistics

Updated May 2016
Data last revised: July 15, 2016
Questions? Contact the OCLC Library - oclclibrary@oclc.org

These statistics that represent the total global library universe include data, if available, for the total
number of libraries, librarians, volumes, expenditures, and users for every country and territory in the
world broken down into the major library types: academic, public, school, special and national. It is
important to remember that these figures do not represent OCLC membership. The statistics also
include available data for languages used, and the number of library schools, publishers, and museums.

The three regions represent those used by the OCLC Global and Regional Councils: the Americas (North
and South America), EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India), and Asia Pacific (Asia, Australia
and Oceania).

This data is made available under the Open Data Commons Attribution License, with reference to the
community norms put forward by the members of the OCLC cooperative who built WorldCat. This
license allows the data to be used for study and research, among other things, with attribution in
derivative works produced from the dataset. If you plan to use the bibliographic data for other
purposes, whether or not you are an OCLC member, we ask that you review and comply with the
community norms. You are welcome to get in touch with us for advice regarding the community norms.

In compiling this data the staff of the OCLC Library extracted data from respected third-party sources,
both electronic and print, that in their judgment are the most current and accurate sources to which
they have access. For many countries, data were either unavailable (indicated in the charts as NA) or
sporadic. Also, for a lot of the world, the data were not as current as the compilers would have liked.
Many of the printed sources were several years old and many websites were suspect. It was felt,
however, that a fairly recent figure was better than none at all, with a cut-off date of around 1980. The
OCLC Library staff had to determine which of the sometimes several possible sources was the most
reliable in terms of accuracy and currency. Seldom did the data from two or more different sources
coincide for the same year.
The decision about whether to record data under the independent county or under a dependency was
determined by how the data were reported in the data sources. For example, Tasmania is represented
under Australia, but Puerto Rico is separate.

For the sake of uniformity, the total number of libraries represents administrative units and not service
points, since not all sources report service points consistently. Some of the country entries did not
specify which unit they were reporting, in which case it was assumed that it was administrative units.

As for the monetary units for expenditures, since most sources reported them in either local currency or
in Euros, they were converted to US$ as of the last day of the year of the data of the source. The
difficulty of obtaining expenditures figures was exacerbated considerably by the fact that they are
reported in so few sources. In many countries, expenditures for libraries fall into the public domain, and
thus their budgets are subsumed under those for other ministries or agencies, such as education or
culture.

In some countries, the distinction between categories was unclear; for example, school libraries in the
United States means grades K-12, whereas in other countries it includes colleges or technical and
vocational institutions. Ecclesiastical libraries and those in large research institutes were included under
special libraries.

In those few instances when the date of the source data was unclear or unknown, the date of
compilation or of publication was used.

In general, data are updated on the world map as they are updated in the sources.

Because of these issues, it is possible that the figures represent an underestimate of worldwide totals in
all categories; other more current and accurate sources may exist that the compilers are unaware of. If
you know of, or can recommend additional sources, please contact us at oclclibrary@oclc.org

the CD-ROM version since they were not published as country totals. The compilers had to determine
which of the sometimes several possible sources was the most reliable in terms of accuracy and currency.
