The reporting Period for the surveys is the most recent fiscal year/12-month period that ends before October 1, 2025.
Data for the libraries is collected from LibInsights, Celus (some data for Celus may need to be manually updated), and WMS. Budget data is collected using the budget report provided by Mona G. Data should be added to the Google Sheets. Then the ACRL data should be added to the LibInsights Dataset, "ACRL Annual Survey".
