Dollars for Data 2006
The Nebraska Library Commission instituted a "Dollars for Data" payment in FY
2006 to unaccredited public libraries that completed the annual Public Library
Statistical Report using Bibliostat™ Collect. Thirty-six libraries qualified for
the $250 payment, and six of these went on to become accredited. Submitting data
ensures that the Library Commission and the National Center for Education
Statistics (NCES) have a realistic picture of public library services and needs
throughout Nebraska. Since this is a necessary element toward meeting the
standards of service outlined in the Public Library Accreditation Guidelines, the remaining unaccredited
libraries that submitted data are one step closer to achieving accredited
status. This state funding is intended to provide enhanced services, not to
replace local funds.
