Outsell's 15th Annual IM Benchmarking Survey is live - free report for participants *With apologies for cross-posting, and a big thank you to everyone who has contributed so far* Over the past several years, Outsell's IM Benchmarking Survey results show spending on e-books to be almost flat, despite the proliferation of platforms and formats, and the same was predicted for 2015. How has this situation changed in 2015/16? How does your library compare to others? You can find out by participating in Outsell's 2015 survey for library leaders and managers, which is now live! We welcome responses from academic, health, special, school, corporate and public libraries. In return for your participation, you will instantly receive a free 12-page data report showing how your responses compare to both your peer group, and the library community as a whole. You can find the survey at: http://outsell.interceptsurveys.com/IMB<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001FIWo-i5LIdNYX7yPv5vdRVwTHMlmk7nrS5vP6ohiocx7CXp72k4GfzAHcwHHJCwgVmM0pJnd67J5sfzyAUNUIqyy6lYsDHPo3yhhXSrkfkI3XAlDBBtGXarinlXCN29P> The survey covers budgets, technology, content and vendor relationships. It should take around 20 minutes of your time to complete (you can pause it and return at will), and all information will be kept strictly confidential. The survey deadline is Monday 30th November, 2015. Questions? Need a copy of the questionnaire?
