The Deadline for the MLA Benchmarking Survey Has Been Extended!

MLA Benchmarking Survey Deadline Extended

The Benchmarking Network Editorial Board (BNEB) and benchmarking chapter liaisons thank the 180+ librarians who have already started their MLA benchmarking survey and the 90+ who have completed it.

In acknowledgement of the end-of-the-year crunch experienced by many of our members, the BNEB is extending the survey deadline through January 31, 2008.

Make it your New Year's resolution to gather and enter your data after January
1, 2008!
