Public Libraries Survey Due in Two Weeks

Just a reminder that the required Public Library Statistical Survey for 2011-2012 is due on Friday, February 15th. That’s just two weeks from today and as I write this, 68% of Nebraska’s public libraries have not yet submitted a report. If you need some guidance in completing your report, please check out the Data Services web page at http://nlc.nebraska.gov/stats/bibliostatcollect.aspx. There you will find a “Tip Sheet,” instructions for finding data on Overdrive holdings and usage, full survey instructions, data element definitions, and a blank copy of the survey for use in collecting your statistics before going online. And, of course, you can also contact me via phone or email for any questions you have about the report. Thanks! -John Felton-
