OLD: CUNY libraries statistics 2015-2016

This guide was created by the City University of New York's Libraries Statistics working group to share information with CUNY librarians about how to gather and report statistics for the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) for 2015-2016 and the IPEDS-AL.

In order to ensure consistent reporting, the Task Force has written these guidelines to clarify the instructions published by ACRL and IPEDS AL. As a general rule, survey respondents should follow the Instructions for each question but integrate CUNY guidelines as well.

Start with the ACRL survey as that data can be used to complete IPEDS.

For both surveys, please report data for the period July 1, 2015-June 30, 2016.

***Please submit a completed copy of both surveys to Shamiana Pond by February 15, 2017 ***

The CUNY stats working group is updating information for the upcoming IPEDS AL and ACRL surveys.  Please see the list contacts below if you have any questions or comments. 

Timeline

• The ACRL survey opens this year on September 1, 2016.
• IPEDS AL component opens December 14, 2016. Chief librarians or campus contacts should have received IPEDS usernames passwords by campus IR directors. Please contact your campus IR director if you have not received access to the IPEDS-AL survey.
• Complete both surveys by February 15, 2017. Send your data or logins to Shamiana Pond (shamiana.pond@cuny.edu).
