<pre><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">In accordance with ORS 357.520, the State Library is once again requesting your help with reporting library statistics for the 2010-11 fiscal year. Oregon law requires that every public library report annually to the State Library. The Statistical Report is due October 1, 2011.<o:p></o:p></span></pre>

<pre><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">We will be using Bibliostat Collect again for the Oregon Public Library Statistical Report. You will be receiving a mailing from the State Library this week. Note that the URL for Bibliostat is now <a href="http://collect.btol.com/,">http://collect.btol.com/<span style="color:windowtext">,</span></a> so be sure to update any bookmarks. I did not change library user names or passwords from last year. If you have your user name and password from last year, you can start on the survey now. I’ve already heard from several libraries jockeying for first filer status!<o:p></o:p></span></pre>

Section 12 is the only new piece this year, but the good news is that it’s for State Library use only and finally shows codes we use with the Federal Government.<o:p></o:p></span></pre>
