Belk Library uses data to drive its decision-making to improve access, services, and collections for the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ community. We report on collections and their circulation (digital and physical), expenditures, staffing, gate counts, reference, and instruction statistics every year. We report statistics by fiscal year (June 1 to May 31 the following year) to the Association for College & Research Libraries (ACRL) and to the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) American Libraries (AL) survey.
