If you need IPEDS staff salary and benefits expense data, check with the college VP of Finance.
Question: There is increased interest in the VCCS Overdrive collection, how can colleges add new titles to that service?
Answer: Most of the titles in Overdrive are chosen and paid for by the individual institutions. Please contact Tara for access to the admin module to view available titles, cost info, and create a list of titles to purchase. Tara will work with this vendor to help them understand who is making the purchase, and invoice correctly.

4/14 message from the Chancellor:
"These extraordinary times require us to ensure that our community colleges are doing all that they can to help as many Virginians as possible. To that end, I am announcing a task force today, made up of leaders from across our colleges, to make recommendations for the fall semester and beyond. You’ll be hearing more about their work as they move through it, and many of you will have the opportunity to contribute to it through many of our statewide peer groups. Thank you for all that you are doing to ensure that your community college is the partner so many of our friends and neighbors need right now."
