 Jay's Tips

• If you are using a very large database (all U.S. libraries, for example) use percentile data type, not rank.  Rank works best with a limited number of records in the database.
• Please send me good charts and graphs that you have created in Connect.  I would like to add a new page highlighting uses of Connect.

If you work in a Kentucky public library or are a library trustee and have questions regarding Bibliostat Connect contact Jay Bank by email.
