for the Arts and the Humanities. 

ACTION: Request for information. 

SUMMARY: This Request for Information 

(RFI) is intended to gather broad public 

input to assist the Institute of Museum

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: IMLS 

seeks stakeholder feedback on how it 

can carry out its statutory responsibility 

‘‘to ensure the availability of museum, 

library, and information services 

adequate to meet the essential 

information, education, research, 

economic, cultural, and civic needs of 

the people of the United States.’’ IMLS 

is developing a five-year strategic plan 

for FY 2022–FY 2026, as required by the 

Government Performance and Results 

Act (GPRA) and GPRA Modernization 

Act. The resulting IMLS Strategic Plan 

will be published in February 2022 after 

review and approval by the Office of 

Management and Budget. 

Information Requested 

IMLS invites input from stakeholders, 

experts, communities, and members of 

the public, including but not limited to 

libraries, archives, and museums; 

researchers in academia, industry, and 

government; library and museum 

advocacy organizations; 

nongovernmental and professional 

organizations; Federal agencies; and 

members of the general public. 

Organizations are strongly encouraged 

to submit a single response that reflects 

the views of their organization and 

membership as a whole. 

IMLS wants to leverage its programs, 

research and data collections, resources, 

and relationships to: 

1. Champion lifelong learning; 

2. Strengthen community engagement; 

3. Advance collections stewardship 

and access; 

4. Demonstrate excellence in public 

service. 

IMLS asks you to consider the 

following strategic questions to help 

envision future services: 

• How can museums and libraries 

broaden participation in learning 

opportunities for people of all ages, 

backgrounds, and needs? 

• What essential skills will museum, 

library, and archives professionals need 

over the next five years to address 

changes to their work? 

• How can museums, libraries, and 

archives better use outreach and 

partnerships to serve their 

communities? 

• What practices and tools in 

museum, library, and archives 

collections management, care, and 

access need to be updated or reinvented, 

and how? 

• What research and data are needed 

to help museums and libraries work 

more effectively for the benefit of the 

communities they serve? 

IMLS welcomes your general 

comments on these questions and any 

other challenges, opportunities, needs, 

or trends that you find relevant to the 

development of the IMLS Strategic Plan.
