The main objective of Law No. 63 of 2011 is to establish the Inclusive Library Services System for Technological Assistance in all libraries in Puerto Rico. In the same way, this law orders the government to “Collect annual statistical data on Inclusive Library Services for Technological Assistance”. Since its approval, the government has been unable to fully comply with this mandate. It is for this reason that the Institute of Statistics of Puerto Rico, in collaboration with the Technological Assistance Program of the University of Puerto Rico (PRATP), designed a collection system and a data set so that the Government of Puerto Rico has the capacity to collect, analyze and disseminate data on the implementation of this law. This document is Puerto Rico's first report on statistics related to the implementation of Law No. 63 in 2011. The data presented correspond to the calendar year 2019 and includes a sample of the libraries of the University of Puerto Rico system, private universities, higher education institutions and municipalities.
