Abstract: The Academic Libraries Survey (ALS) provides the basic
data needed to produce descriptive statistics for approximately 3,827
academic libraries in the 2-year and 4-year postsecondary institutions
of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the outlying areas of
the United States. Collection of these data enables the nation to plan
for the development and use of postsecondary education library
resources. ALS has been a component of the Integrated Postsecondary
Education Data System (IPEDS), but since 2000 it has been a separate
biennial survey. The data are collected on the web and consist of
information about library holdings, library staff, library services and
usage, library technology, library budget and expenditures for 4300
academic libraries in the U.S. The ALS questionnaire is being revised
for the 2010 survey: One eligibility question and twelve item responses
will be added and one item response will be dropped.
