Taking the Survey

You will receive another email notifying you when the survey has been opened for submissions.

Please review the questions and prepare your answers so that you will be ready to submit your responses online when the survey is activated. Printing out the questions and reviewing them with the library director beforehand will save time and will provide a file copy of the library's answers for future reference. Submit any questions about the survey via askGPO by selecting Federal Depository Libraries as the category and Biennial Survey as the subcategory.

Please answer all questions based on the library's current status, unless otherwise directed.

If after submitting the 2007 Biennial Survey submission you discover that you have submitted some inaccurate information, resubmit the entire Survey. Your prior responses will be overwritten in the database.
