Over the past three years, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)-funded Community College Academic and Student Support Ecosystem (CCASSE) initiative has aimed to provide the higher education community with insight into the organization of student-facing support services and how the library can best position itself to enhance student success, especially in collaborating with other departments. This report summarizes the findings from the latest phase the project, a national survey of community college library directors and leaders. 321 community college library directors were surveyed in February 2021 to provide the community with a snapshot of current service provision, leadership perspectives on the impact of COVID-19, and challenges faced in making decisions and navigating change.
