Library Assessment

General Information

LibPAS is a data management software specifically for libraries created by Counting Opinions. The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Academic Facilities Libraries annual survey is recorded using Counting Opinions.  Monthly and annual data input is captured in this software for many areas across UL. 

Data Input

Once you have a login and an account, the LibPAS page will have specialized data input pages specific to your reporting needs.  This image shows  a drop down of some of the different areas, but your view won't be this comprehensive.  You can also use LibPAS to make reports and to export data into a CSV file. If you need to set up an account please contact the Assessment Librarian.
