<P><FONT color=#0000ff>Institute</A> of Museum and Library Services<SPAN
class=260244022-24032006> </SPAN>(IMLS) has completed an update to their 2001
survey on the subject. The survey was conducted among five primary groups which
included public libraries, academic libraries, archives, and museums. They
followed up their data collection phase with telephone discussions with key
participants within the primary groups in order to craft this report. As
presented here, the report is broken down into a number of sections, including a
very helpful area of key findings as well as a methodology section. Some of
these findings include the observation that digitization activities have
increased for all groups, though many of these groups do not solicit user
feedback to determine what their specific digitization needs might be.

<P><FONT color=#0000ff>Overall, this is a useful document, and one that will be
of particular interest to those who set or study policies at these types of
organizations.</FONT></P></FONT></FONT></DIV>
