There are 3 different group purchases for which Bobbi Slossar is currently collecting information from libraries who are interested in participating. Each has its own survey that needs to be completed ASAP if you want your library to be included.
AncestryLibrary Edition Survey The survey will determine whether NHSL will pursue a group purchase of Ancestry Library Edition on behalf of
interested libraries. Your participation on the survey matters greatly –
particularly if you are a current subscriber. - For comparison
purposes, partial-year statistics from 2024 have been included.
Statewide we have seen a significant decrease in usage: ALE
Statistics (Jan-Aug 2024)
- Since Proquest stats do
not always fall under the NHSL “umbrella,” if you do not see your
statistics here – or feel that they are incorrect – please run the
statistics though your own IP address. Here are the instructions and link
from the LibGuide.
- As always, if your IP
address has changed, please visit https://whatismyip.com
to find your new IPv4 and send it to Bobbi who will submit a support ticket
with Proquest on your behalf.
Please review your statistics and take a moment to indicate
your interest in joining the group purchase by completing the survey.
2026 Mango
Languages Survey This survey is to determine which libraries would like to
participate in a group discount for Mango Languages. If the prices below look reasonable to you and
you are seriously considering subscribing, please fill out the survey. With this group
discount, the vendor issues the subscription cost. There may be a minimum number of libraries needed to buy into this discount
purchase. How
much will it cost? These are the costs for our current 2025
subscribers based on their populations.

2026 Movie
Licensing Survey The purpose of this
license is to allow you to legally show movies at your library. Pricing info for each library that participated was sent out this week to the NHAIS-L list. If you are interested in resubscribing or starting a
subscription to Movie Licensing, please take a moment to fill out this
survey.
The “2024 Complete Library Statistics” spreadsheets have been posted to the NHSL website. There are 12 tabs full of delicious Public Library Survey data within one Excel workbook. You’ll find them on the following page: https://www.nhsl.dncr.nh.gov/librarians-library-staff/library-statistics.
Please let me know if you have any trouble accessing the information.
Enjoy! Jennifer M. Finch, MSLIS Reference Librarian and State Data Coordinator New Hampshire State Library Office: 603-271-2060 Ref Desk: 603-271-2144 Jennifer.M.Finch@dncr.nh.gov
Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2:05 p.m.: The Close button has been restored to the NHAIS ILL System screens where it should be. If you find otherwise, please get in touch with the NHAIS Help Desk at 603-271-2141 or nhu-pac@dncr.nh.gov.
Tuesday, Sept. 9, 1 p.m.: Several libraries report the Close button is missing from some screens in the NHAIS ILL System, including the Lender's Pending List. There's an X in the upper right you can use to close the screen but it takes you to the main system page rather than the Request Manager page. Auto-Graphics is working on a fix.
