ACRL IPEDS

ACRL IPEDS (Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System) is a program offered by the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) that provides academic libraries with access to data collected by the U.S. Department of Education's IPEDS survey. IPEDS is a comprehensive survey system that collects data from all institutions of higher education in the United States, including public and private universities, community colleges, and vocational schools.

ACRL IPEDS helps academic librarians use this data to inform their decision-making and planning processes. The program provides access to a wide range of data, including enrollment statistics, graduation rates, financial aid information, and faculty and staff demographics. This data can be used to assess the needs of the library's users, plan for future growth and development, and advocate for the library's budget and resources.

Overall, ACRL IPEDS is a valuable resource for academic librarians who want to use data to inform their work and demonstrate the value of the library to the larger institution.
