Data Requests

Submitted by jrollman on Mon, 05/22/2017 - 09:52

Planning & Assessment is implementing an improved process for requesting customized data sets. In an effort to better serve our library members, a standardized data request form is now available via MyMetrolibrary under Departments > Planning > Data Request.

This new workflow is intended to enable more effective queuing, load-balancing, and turn-around times for our department and yours. Please begin using this new workflow at the time of your next request.

Thank you!
