the proliferation of platforms and formats, and the same was predicted for 2015. How has this situation changed in 2015/16? How does your library compare to others? You can find out by participating in Outsell's 2015 survey for library leaders and managers,
which is now live!</font><font face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br>
</font></font></div>
<font face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br>
<p>We welcome responses from academic, health, special, school, corporate and public libraries. In return for your participation, you will instantly receive a free 12-page data report showing how your responses compare to both your peer group, and the library
community as a whole.<br>
