BEDS
This is a repost...that time of year is upon us.
The Basic Educational Data System (BEDS), created by the New York State Education Department (SED) Information Center on Education, contains statistical data on the pupils, staff, and facilities of every local school district, school building, and intermediate district (Boards of Cooperative Educational Services--BOCES) in New York. Librarians provide administrators with information. Watch the video to see how easy it is!

BEDS
BEDS reports are due in October. You might be asked for the number of print and non-print items in the library’s collection, in addition to database information. The video linked below will help you use the Collection Statistics Summary report to find this information. eBooks are counted separately and are included in this report. Add this number to the 200 eBooks that the BOCES 2 SLS eBook library provides.
What about databases? You can find the ones that accessed through Destiny by looking at the One Search Database Usage report. Subtract any FREE ones (like ERIC or CIA World Fact Book) because they aren’t databases. They are websites. Nine (9) is the number of NOVELny databases that should be included in the total number of database subscriptions available through the school library media program when reporting the number of database subscriptions, including NOVELny statewide databases" in the resources section of the Library Media Center page on the BEDS Report. Contact Maribeth Krupczak at mkrupcza@mail.nysed.gov if you have questions about the NOVELny databases.
