The Nebraska

Data Services page. Here you will find:
- A link to the Bibliostat Collect survey form,

- A Tip Sheet to help you complete the survey,
- Instructions for finding your Overdrive holdings and circulation statistics,
- Definitions of the data elements contained in the survey,
- And full instructions on completing the survey.
The information provided through this survey is used to determine accreditation status and state aid awards, so please be diligent in completing it accurately.
