Perkins & Bostock Public Computer Usage - October 2014

The original goal of exploring computer usage data in September 2014 was to ascertain whether or not the computer downsizing of spring 2013 left library users with enough public computers to meet their needs. Due to issues with the data quality, we were not able to address this question. The report instead addresses two other questions: patterns in volume of usage over time and patterns in session duration over time. Computers included are those in Bostock outside the IAS, and the sitting computers in Perkins on the first floor.
