Preliminary findings and final reminder: Outsell's 2015 Information Management (IM) Benchmarking Survey closes 30 November - free report for all participants
*With apologies for multiple postings, and our thanks to those who have already contributed*
Outsell's preliminary findings from this year's survey suggest that e-books are the top priority for increased investment for 2016. How does this compare to your IM budgeting
for 2016? Also, around 40% of respondents report Big Data Analytics and skills with Visualization Tools as the areas where they are now experiencing the biggest skills gaps. How does the skill-set of your team compare to your peers? This is just a reminder
that you can find out by participating in our 2015 survey for library leaders and managers, which is live until 30th November.
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.
You can find the survey at:
http://outsell.interceptsurveys.com/IMB
The survey should take around 20 minutes of your time to complete (you can pause it and return at will), and all information will be kept strictly confidential. The
survey will close on Monday, 30 November, 2015.
