About
"Measuring Public Library Accessibility" considers the role of distance and travel patterns in accessing public libraries by looking at actual travel routes, including roads and geographical landmarks, instead of considering distance in terms of straight lines. The research provides an important point of view when considering the barriers to accessibility.
