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.
