LibQUAL+® is pleased to announce the opening of registration for 2012. With an improved website, the customizing feature LibQUAL+® Lite, and a new fee structure that rewards periodic structured participation with discounts, there has never been a better time to join this robust community with more than a million complete surveys of data.

In 2010, we introduced a fee structure with two important features that will benefit you in 2012. First, we froze the standard base fee for the LibQUAL+® survey implementation, which we continue to carry over to 2012. Second, we implemented a fee structure that offers the LibQUAL+® survey to you for less on an annual and biennial basis. The pricing rewards periodic, structured participation and encourages libraries to make participation decisions strategically, rather than on an ad hoc basis.

Register to participate in 2012

Past participants may register at http://www.libqual.org/register/survey. If your institution participated in 2011, your fee will be only $2,200. If your institution most recently participated in 2010, your fee will be only $2,700. For all others, the standard base fee of $3,200 applies.

The fee also covers access to all the results from all the institutions for the year you register. To access survey results from the years you don’t implement a survey, a $1,000 annual membership subscription fee is available.

New participants can set up a new account for registration by writing to libqual@arl.org. With registration, you will receive access to a rich array of assessment resources, free training, and timely delivery of your survey results.

Free Training

Free training will be offered on Monday, January 23, 2012 in Dallas, Texas, in conjunction with the American Library Association Midwinter Meeting. To see upcoming and past LibQUAL+® events, please visit http://www.libqual.org/events.
