NCES Academic Library Survey available.

The National Center for Education Statistics' biennial collection of statistical data from college and university libraries will open officially on November 22, 2004. Academic library directors received a letter containing a registration certificate in October, including a user identification and password to access the web-based forms. The interactive menus, available on the agency's web page will be available on March 22, 2005. As soon as possible after the end of the data collection period, 2004 data will be available in the Academic Libraries Peer Comparison Tools. Upon completion, a summary report of the 2004 data will be posted on the agency web site.
