For those interested in stats, I updated the Top 20 list of libraries based on OverDrive audiobook collections.
All of the libraries increased the size of their collections since the last update, with the exception of one. Phoenix took quite a hit and decreased their collection by 14.7%, while dropping from 2nd to 3rd place. Registering the largest gains were Indianapolis and Los Angeles. Indy had the largest jump on the list, moving from 9th to 4th place with a 14.0% increase and LA went from 11th to 10th with a 15.2% increase. edit: Phoenix Public Library belongs to a consortium - Greater Phoenix Digital Library - which uses the new OD format. I should've used this website all along. Anyway, I've adjusted the numbers and Phoenix is back in 2nd place. . Last edited by tubemonkey; 08-20-2013 at 02:02 PM. |

Phoenix still hasn't converted to the new OverDrive website yet and their numbers reflect several sources (OverDrive and OneClickDigital). That skews the numbers higher, since the rest of this list is based solely on OverDrive stats. As to why the numbers dropped? I have no idea. I'm sure both formats were affected. |
