[LIBRARYDIR] IPEDS Data

[Kelly, Amy]

I think this would be an excellent discussion. Either the summer or fall LLC meeting would be a good venue: then we can have some time to create the baseline and the report before next year's IPEDS.

Subject: [LIBRARYDIR] IPEDS Data

Greetings,

At one of this week's WACTCLC meetings, a report was reviewed in Alma that was developed outside of Washington for another academic library's IPEDS data needs. It struck a lot of folks on that call as a potentially useful way of streamlining data collection for IPEDS that is otherwise a hassle to harvest.

Anyway, Sally Heilstedt and I spoke about how it might be an appropriate conversation to have with LLC-that is, how IPEDS data submission can be interpreted in multiple ways and how it might be valuable to have some kind of baseline/universal description of what WA libraries are submitting, and even an agreed-upon Alma report for even further standardization.

My question is: if this does fall under LLC's purview and interest, then where and when do we have this conversation?

Thanks!

Greg
