2010-2011 Public Libraries Survey Opens
The annual Public Libraries Statistical Survey for FY 2010-2011 has opened for online submission as of today. Log into your library’s survey form by going to http://collect.btol.com. The due date for this survey is February 13, 2012. For instructions and tips for completing the survey go to the Library Data Services page at http://nlc.nebraska.gov/stats/BibliostatCollect.aspx.
Background
Every year the Nebraska Library Commission, along with state library agencies from all other states and U.S. territories, collects statistics through the Public Libraries Survey. There are almost 90 shared data elements in this survey that are used to analyze and compare public library service in the U.S. In Nebraska, these data, along with some state-wide information, are gathered through an online survey instrument known as Bibliostat™ Collect. Submission of this survey is required to become eligible for the public library accreditation program and for state aid to public libraries.
