Subject: Survey on preservation statistics--addendum
The Preservation Statistics Survey FY2014 survey deadline has been extended! You now have until Friday, March 20, 2015 to complete the survey at <URL:http://www.ala.org/alcts/resources/preservation/presstats> Count what you do and show preservation counts! The FY14 questionnaire focuses on production-based preservation activities, including conservation treatment, general preservation activities, preservation reformatting and digitization, digital preservation and digital asset management. The survey, now in its third year, is a project of the Preservation and Reformatting Section (PARS) of the Association of Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS), and is based on the Preservation Statistics survey program coordinated by the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) from 1984-2004. Why should your institution participate in the FY2014 Preservation Statistics Survey? The FY2014 Survey is significantly shorter than previous years, asking only for production data--information you already have for annual reporting or other internal planning and evaluation. Preservation Statistics data helps you and the wider preservation community advocate for preservation programming and activities, demonstrating how programs compare to peers as well as areas of strength and need. Your participation can help us achieve a representative body of preservation programs, which means better analysis and examination of trends in preservation programming. To continue the Preservation Statistics Project, we need seventy-five institutions to respond to this FY14 survey. To date, we have 15 respondents. We need 60 more institutions to respond to the survey by March 20, 2-15 in order to continue the project for FY15.
