Would you like to have concrete benchmarks available that you can use to compare your library to peer organizations? Do you ever need date to justify spending, hone your resource allocation decisions, and provide management with key metrics about your library's vendor portfolio?

Outsell, Inc.'s annual Information Management Benchmark Survey of information managers and librarians in industries, nonprofits, government agencies, and educational and healthcare institutions is the leading resource on information center budgets, content spending, and staffing. But if you want your library or information center to be included in this influential survey, you must act now!

The online survey will close Friday, 25 October 2013, at midnight Pacific Time. To enter the survey for the first time, point your browser to  http://www.interceptsurveys.net/Survey1372/?VID=521

All responses are confidential; data will be presented in aggregated form only. Only one person from each information center or library should answer the survey to avoid duplicate responses from the same organization.

Respondents completing the survey will receive the results.
