Library Infographic, 2026
- The infographic for 2026 is currently being prepared. Information sources include the annual student satisfaction survey, virtual reference statistics and satisfaction, and benchmarking with other institutions.
- We are waiting to access current benchmarking statistics through the ACRL Academic Library Trends & Statistics website, now that the Academic Library Survey is no longer being conducted via IPEDS. 2025 data should be available by October 2026, if not sooner.
- The format of the infographic will change this year to meet accessibility standards.
