All CSU libraries must complete the following surveys:  ACRL, IPEDS, and CSU statistics.  Many libraries also contribute data to their annual campus GAAP Audit.  ACRL redesigned its 2015-16 survey to align with IPEDS 2015-16, and CSU statistics follow the ACRL form, with the addition of "CSU-only" questions.

Recommended practice (as advised by ACRL) is to fill out the ACRL survey first. You will then be able to use a subset of the ACRL responses to answer IPEDS queries without having to re-tabulate any data.  For this reason, this group will focus on the queries necessary to answer the ACRL survey, with the understanding that IPEDS answers may be taken from the completed ACRL form, or derived from the same set of queries.
