Goals of Changes• Make the survey easier to answer and reduce post edits• Part D:
– The items in Part D have been asked since 1994 with relatively few changes. – The revisions are intended to ensure that this section reflects the full range
of important services and functions in which SLAAs are engaged. – IMLS wanted to provide conceptual clarity to this section by placing the items
in groups that reflected an overarching structure of these activities.
