Ithaka S+R Library Survey 2013

The Ithaka S+R Library Survey 2013 was an opinion-based survey of academic library deans and directors at four-year colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. The survey aimed to measure attitudes related to library direction and strategy, staffing levels, budgeting priorities for material resources, print and electronic collections management, and the role of the library in promoting information literacy. Respondents were also asked to detail strategies for enhancing information discovery services in order to meet the changing needs of students and researchers. Information regarding the size and type of each respondent's educational institution was also recorded.
