Abstract

Each year, ACRL’s Academic Library Trends and Statistics Survey provides data that can help the profession understand how academic libraries provide and demonstrate their impact and value to their users, institutions, and communities. Findings from the 2022 survey continued this tradition while also supplying additional insight into how library services and use continued to evolve. The 2022 survey collected data from 1,533 academic libraries in two main areas. First, a standard set of questions related to collections (including titles held, volumes, and electronic books); expenditures (library materials, salaries, and wages, etc.); library services; and staffing. For the Library Trends section, a one-time set of survey questions focused on the anticipation of post-pandemic changes in library activity, professional development, flexible/remote work arrangements, and hiring procedures.
