Abstract: 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 administrative agencies ("SLAAs") are the official agencies of each State charged by State law with the extension and development of public library services throughout the State. (20 U.S.C. Chapter 72, 20 U.S.C. §9122.) The purpose of this survey is to provide state and federal policymakers with information about SLAAs, including their governance, allied operations, developmental services to libraries and library systems, support of electronic information networks and resources, number and types of outlets, and direct services to the public.

Short Statement: The decrease in burden could be due to several reasons. - The FY12 survey was submitted a few months later than previous years and the survey was changed in FY12 from annual to biennial.
