2024 ACRL/Core Academic Library Facilities Survey
All academic libraries are invited to participate in this survey to contribute to a better understanding of current library facilities, including access, shared spaces, and use of space, as well as future space needs.

Please contact acrlbenchmark@ala.org if you have any questions about the survey.
