Press Release: BISG and ALA Announce Research Partnership
Keith Fiels, Executive Director of ALA, said, "ALA is particularly pleased to work with BISG on this project. This will be the first study to establish a benchmark - and usage trends - related to the digital reading experience of library patrons."
The survey seeks to understand the behavior of library patrons, including their use of digital resources and other services offered by public libraries. It will examine the impact of digital consumption behaviors, including the adoption of new business models, on library usage across America. In a comprehensive survey, library patrons will be asked about preferred device usage, preferences for print or digital formats, collection assessment, and other issues that affect the use and distribution of published content in public libraries.
