     REMINDER-Your Input is Important!

Acting State Librarian Jeffrey W. Cannell invites the library community and library leaders to participate in an online opinion survey about future programs and services of the New York State Library. The survey is posted at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/J6W3BQH  and will be open until 5pm February 1st.

The State Library is conducting a multi-faceted evaluation of New York’s current Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) Five Year Plan (2007-2012). Data from this evaluation, along with the far reaching policy recommendations in the Regents Advisory Council on Libraries new 2020 Vision for library services will help inform and shape New York State’s new  LSTA Five Year Plan (2012-2017) as well as a new strategic plan for the State Library.  

One important component of the LSTA Evaluation is to obtain feedback from New York’s library community and library leaders on the broad range of services and programs offered by the State Library. This feedback is essential to helping the State Library map future directions.  The survey results will also help the State Library in its ongoing drive for continuous improvement.

Your responses to this survey will be combined with those of other respondents and will only be reported in the aggregate. This survey is voluntary and should take approximately ten minutes to complete.  

As an added incentive, survey respondents will have a chance to receive a $25 Amazon gift card.  Five winners will be randomly selected.

Questions about the online survey should be directed to Mary Linda Todd in the State Library’s Division of Library Development at mtodd@mail.nysed.gov or by calling 518-486-4858.
