How We Do It

Borrower Profile and Resource Optimization

Buxton’s Library Solution combines your library borrower data with our household-level consumer datasets to identify who your borrowers are for each branch, what types of resources they are likely to use, and where they and similar consumers are located. We provide you with resource categories that should be included at each branch based on the characteristics of consumers in the trade area to guide your resource allocation decisions.

Visualize your Borrower Profile

Once complete, the profiles are loaded into SCOUT, an application in our user-friendly Buxton Analytics Platform, so you can see where consumers who match those profiles are located, identify areas that may be underserved by the library system, and access additional reports on the market.
