E-Resource Survey

NEW SURVEY
The Illinois State Library and Lincoln Trail Libraries System are conducting an online survey to determine which online subscription databases Illinois public libraries currently purchase for their users. The results of this survey will support the Illinois WorldCat Local Project as well as assist the Illinois regional library systems and the Illinois State Library in e-resource coordination and planning. The survey should take 5-10 minutes to complete. If your public library has not already completed the survey, please go to this web site.

Once results are back from public libraries, the survey will be sent to school, special, and academic libraries.
