Oneida County WI: Public Access Internet Computers (1999-2013) and Print Serial Subscriptions (1996-2013)

2010 population:  35,998
 
Public libraries in Oneida County

• Minocqua Public Library
• Rhinelander District Library
• Demmer Memorial Library, Three Lakes

This line-graph series is the result of my wondering if there's any pattern to the number of print serial subscriptions held by public libraries in relation to the increasing number of public access Internet computers provided by public libraries since 1999. (Earliest year for which Wisconsin statistics are available.)

Note: The 1996, 1997, 1998 Wisconsin public library annual reports asked for the following information: Libraries with Internet access. (Answered yes or no.) Libraries with electronic services. (Answered yes or no.) In 1999, public libraries reported the number of public access Internet computers for the first time in the annual report.

What Do Chieftain Sand and Source Energy Have in Common?

Frac sand industry still growing.  (Rice Lake Online, 12/23/2014)

Looking to 2015

Two sand companies have recently shown they are planning to expand mining areas by hundreds of acres. 

Chieftain Sand & Proppants plans to add 9 new minin g properties generally west of its existing operation near the intersection of Hwy. AA and 25 1/2 Street. 

Source Energy Services has lined up nearly 1,500 acres, mainly east of its existing mine along Hwy. 8 in the Town of Sumner.
