Current Actions The State Library Administrative Agencies Survey has been conducted by the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the clearance number 3137–0072, which expires 10/31/2013.

Through the FY 2010 collection, the SLAA Survey was conducted annually; beginning with the FY 2012 collection, the survey will be conducted biennially. Before the beginning of the FY 2014 collection, IMLS will review and revise the questionnaire.

    The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is an 
independent Federal grant-making agency and is the primary source of 
federal support for the Nation's 123,000 libraries and 17,500 museums. 
IMLS provides a variety of grant programs to assist the Nation's 
museums and libraries in improving their operations and enhancing their 
services to the public. IMLS is responsible for identifying national 
needs for and trends in museum, library, and information services; 
measuring and reporting on the impact and effectiveness of museum, 
library and information services throughout the United States, 
including programs conducted with funds made available by IMLS; 
identifying, and disseminating information on, the best practices of 
such programs; and developing plans to improve museum, library and 
information services of the United States and strengthen national, 
State, local, regional, and international communications and 
cooperative networks (20 U.S.C. Chapter 72, 20 U.S.C. 9108).

II. Current Actions

    The State Library Administrative Agencies Survey has been conducted 
by the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the clearance 
number 3137-0072, which expires 10/31/2013. State library
