Oregon Academic Library Survey
In 2001, the Oregon State Library, after consulting with the Oregon academic library community, made the decision to only collect interlibrary loan, staffing, and directory data. In 2007, the State Library discontinued the Oregon Academic Survey, and plans to do an annual mailing for a directory update.
