With unique insights that come from using Director's Station, you and your staff will make the most of the data available on your collection, your users, and much more. And you will be more effective than ever before in developing strategies for carrying out your institution's mission.

A great companion product for Director's Station is the Normative Data Project for Libraries (NDP), whose goal is to compile transaction-level data from libraries throughout North America; to link library data with geographic, demographic, and other key types of data; and, thereby, to empower library decision-makers to compare and contrast their institutions with real-world industry norms on circulation, collections, finances, and other parameters. So if you're interested in seeing your institution in the context of libraries like yours nationally or in accessing specialized reports based on real-world national data, the NDP offers you significant benefits.
