The Future of IPEDS: The Need For Quality Library DataTuesday, April 30th | 10:00AM - 11:30AM | ZoomDescription The National Center for Education Statistics within the Department of Education collects data through a required Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) system of surveys on U.S. colleges, universities, and technical and vocational institutions. The IPEDS survey collection currently includes an Academic Library Component survey gathering information on collections, services, and expenditures for all academic libraries that meet the eligibility criteria. It is a freely available and comprehensive resource typically used by academic libraries across the country to justify new hires, funding, and purchases of library resources to help support their students, faculty, and staff.
