SDC followup on edit response to survey

Subject: PLS FY 2013 Edit Follow Up
Dear State Data Coordinator:
Thank you for participating in the data collection for the Public Libraries Survey, Fiscal Year
2013, conducted by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The U.S. Census
Bureau continues to process the state data submissions as part of an interagency agreement
with IMLS.
I am attaching a file containing our internal edit report identifying items that require your
attention. Please review the questionable data and return your corrections and/or comments.
The Francis Keppel Award for timely and accurate submission of data is based on a point
system that includes post-submission processing. In order to receive the maximum points for
the edit follow-up phase, please respond within two weeks of the date of this e-mail. In order to
avoid being disqualified please respond within three weeks. Please contact me if you have any
questions or concerns.
Note: Any highly questionable data that are not revised or verified as correct by you may be
deleted and imputed. We will notify you of any affected data.
This annual survey provides vital information on the status of the nation’s public libraries. We
are interested in continuing to improve data quality, and we encourage your ideas and input.
Thank you again for your hard work.
