New Survey for LMC

Library Media Connection is again collecting data that librarians
want to know. Our question this month asks: How many libraries do you
supervise?  Please contribute to our data collection efforts and
enter a drawing for exciting new professional materials. Completing
the survey should take less than a minute of your time. Visit

Thanks for helping Library Media Connection report the data that you,
our readers, have requested.

Warm regards,
