Annual Report Survey Data

OLIS makes available for further analysis all of the data collected through the Annual Report Survey in raw form. We are excited about the prospect that library researchers in the course of seeking information they need will produce analyses valuable to others as well. Please be careful in your use and interpretation of the data herein contained. It can be quite confusing to tell definitively to what some of the numbers refer without due deliberation. Please refer to the Comparable Statistics for finished reports.
