Join your CARLI member library colleagues for a virtual discussion on completing the ACRL Academic Library Trends and Statistics Survey!

Struggling with completing the ACRL Academic Library Trends and Statistics Survey? Do you have questions about gathering and reporting data? Would you like to ask colleagues at other CARLI member libraries how they are responding? Join and discuss questions, snarls, and sticky spots in your ACRL survey response. 

This discussion will be led by Devin Savage, Library Dean at Lake Forest College and Lisa Wallis, E-Resources & Systems Librarian at Northeastern Illinois University. Lisa currently serves on the ACRL Editorial Board of the ACRL Academic Library Trends and Statistics Survey and Devin has previously served as chair of the Editorial Board. Come with your questions or just to listen in. 

With the conclusion of the IPEDS Academic Library Component, the ACRL survey has become the primary source of comprehensive data about the impact and value of academic libraries. 

Your participation in this survey enables effective benchmarking, assessment of impact over time, tracking of emerging trends, and demonstration of library value to your administration. When CARLI members complete the survey, the collective data enhances our ability to demonstrate the consortium's value and supports our ongoing advocacy efforts. 

Register to attend.

Have questions about archives? Looking to connect with colleagues or explore archival resources? Join CARLI Archives Committee members for a CARLI Archives Working Session on December 14 from 1:00-2:00 p.m.

This informal, drop-in session offers CARLI members and others an opportunity to ask questions, seek guidance on archival topics, and connect with members of the Archives Committee and colleagues working in the field.

Participants are encouraged to submit questions in advance. Sharing your questions ahead of time will help us ensure that a committee member with relevant expertise is available during the session. Have a last-minute question or just want to stop by and make some archives connections? You are welcome to drop in, too!

While advance questions help us connect you with the right expertise, we will do our best to provide resources and guidance for all participants. If your question requires expertise from a committee member who is not available during the session, we may follow up by connecting you with that individual or sharing relevant resources.

Whether you have a specific archival challenge, are looking for ideas or resources, or simply want to connect with others interested in archives, we hope you’ll join us!

This session will not be recorded.

Please register for this session!

Sponsored by the CARLI Archives Committee.
