Rhode Island Office of Library and Information Services

To prepare a new strategic plan, the Rhode Island Office of Library and Information Services (OLIS) is gathering information from the state’s library community and has engaged ESC of New England to conduct an environmental scan.  This survey is part of that process. The questions in the survey will help ESC evaluate the importance and effectiveness of current OLIS services and obtain a better understanding of the future service needs of RI libraries so that OLIS may strategically plan how to best direct its resources and funding. Your answers will help us assess what areas of library service OLIS can provide that will be most impactful over the next five years.

Your responses to the survey will be anonymous. However, if you wish to share your name and/or the name of your library, you will have the option to do so at the end of the survey.

Thank you for your thoughtful and honest responses to the following questions.
