**Frequency**: Collected annually since 1994. Since 2010, data collection occurs every two years.

**Methods**: The data are collected over the Internet via a Web based reporting system.

**Use**: These data collected are useful to Chief Officers of State Library Agencies (COSLA), policymakers in the executive and legislative branches of federal and state governments, government and library administrators at the federal, state, and local levels, the American Library Association and its members or customers, library and public policy researchers, the public, journalists, and others.
