Metlib has announced that the Statistical Survey of the Metropolitan Libraries Section of IFLA for 2012 is now available. It was compiled by Auckland Libraries on behalf of the Section. There was a participation from 49 libraries from all over the world.

Due to lack of funding this year it was not possible to elaborate the usual indicators and rankings. Metlib is forming a working group with the Public Libraries Section and the Statistics and Evaluation Section to discuss and approve a valid set of indicators.
