Amigos Opens Survey of Libraries' Needs and Priorities for Hosted Technology Solutions
Amigos has recently undertaken a survey to better understand libraries' current and future needs and priorities for hosted technology solutions.
Libraries are invited to complete the survey before January 31. The survey takes less than 10 minutes and can be completed without submitting identifiable information. You are invited to complete the survey yourself, or to forward the link to another member of your library if that is more appropriate. We request that only one response is submitted per institution.
Hosted solutions include software applications, infrastructure components, or functions that organizations access from external service providers. These solutions can prove more affordable and sustainable for libraries than pursuing them individually, allowing libraries to achieve their technology priorities at scale and through shared infrastructure.
A version of this survey has previously been shared with academic libraries in Arizona and Arkansas. If your library already completed a version of this survey, you do not need to respond to this survey.
