Reprieve for LISU's Public Library Materials Fund and Budget Survey

LISU is delighted to announce that the Public Library Materials Fund  
and Budget Survey will, after all, continue as a series. Thanks to  
the timely intervention of Nielsen BookData in offering funding  
support for its compilation, the survey is back on track and will  
appear as usual in 2006. Agreement was reached recently between LISU  
and BookData on a two year sponsorship arrangement for the publication.

The Survey provides details of both the estimated and actual  
expenditure on various categories of materials by public library  
authorities in the UK as well as summary figures and commentary on  
trends. Changes in staffing levels and service points are also  
covered. As such it represents a valuable resource that is objective  
and independent, for policy makers, the library profession, the book  
trade, academics and the media.

LISU's Director, Dr Eric Davies, remarked: "This represents a vote of  
confidence in what LISU is achieving. When we announced the cessation  
of the series earlier this year following MLA's withdrawal of  
funding, we were truly surprised at the reaction. So many people told  
us how important it was to them - we received a welter of messages of  
support from a range of businesses and associations. This gave us  
encouragement to seek a means of keeping it going. BookData came to  
the rescue and we are very grateful to them".

Paul Dibble BookData's UK Library Manager commented: "As a regular  
user of the report, I was surprised and concerned to hear that it was  
under threat. By sponsoring the report, Bookdata, is pleased to be  
able to demonstrate our support and commitment to the library  
community, and play our part in ensuring that this valued resource is  
not lost.

I know that the LISU figures are used by a wide range of stakeholders  
within the library community, providing an independent, trusted, and  
accurate summary of library spending and trends. As the leading data  
provider to libraries and library suppliers, we could see immediate  
synergies between our role and the data collection and reporting role  
of LISU and, as such, we look forward to developing a long-term  
relationship with LISU."
