OLD: CUNY libraries statistics 2016-2017

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 2016-2017 and the IPEDS-AL.

In order to ensure consistent reporting, the Working Gruop 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, 2016-June 30, 2017.

***Please complete and submit login information for both surveys to Shamiana Pond by February 6, 2018 ***

We ask contacts to send Shamiana login information for both surveys to help her compile CUNY-wide results more efficiently.  We will not change any information on the surveys.

Timeline

• The ACRL survey opens this year on September 1, 2017.
• IPEDS AL component opens December 13, 2017. 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.
