PDF file orders -Standard orders that we send and bill completely by way of a PDF file. Please note that this includes a PDF file INVOICE. It has been our experience that these invoices often do not make their way to the proper spot for library payments, causing us billing problems, so PLEASE pay from the PDF invoice if you order a PDF report.
Mailed Orders. Pre-paid orders are accepted for $30 each. Orders requiring invoices are billed at $40 each. Allow at least 4 weeks for delivery on mail orders.
Rush Orders: Rush orders are sent as PDF files within 48 hours, add $25 to the price of the report. Rush orders may not be available on all reports.

An e-mailed PDF report (see above) and an e-mailed PowerPoint together will cost $65. Not available on snail mail orders.

Special reports start at $150. (Sample)

The HAPLR Index provides a comparative rating system that librarians, trustees and the public can use to improve and extend library services in the third millennium. Order a rating sheet for your library today. See a sample report, then get a customized report for your library. Remember that you are granted permission to reprint any reasonable number of copies needed as long as HAPLR copyright notice is included on each copy.

All reports include:

your library's HAPLR score, rank of all comparably sized libraries and percentile scores.
a graphic comparison of the percentile ranking of your library for the 15 input and output measures.
a detailed report on the library's score on each of the 15 factors and the library's rank among like sized libraries.
comparisons to the 5 closest sized libraries in the state and nation. (Note that in the first edition, these were priced separately at $10.00 each, but since nearly everyone ordered both, they have been combined in this edition at $15.00. Note also that for a few population categories in smaller states, there may not be enough libraries in the state to provide the full 5 comparisons.)
