2023 ACRL Academic Library Trends and Statistics Survey: Highlights and Key Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Findings

Abstract

Each year, ACRL’s Academic Library Trends and Statistics Survey asks academic libraries to report on academic library budgets, staffing, information services, collections, and more in response to 100 questions. This national-level data provides evidence so libraries can demonstrate their impact and value to their users, institutions, and communities. Findings from the 2023 survey continued this tradition while also supplying additional information about a trend, in this case via five questions about the current status of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) efforts.
