109 We collaborate with the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) to collect and provide library statistics from ATS member institutions. ATS collects information from institutions in the fall of each year, reflecting the most recently completed fiscal year (usually the prior year). ATLA reorganizes the data from ATS member institutions to provide comprehensive statistics focused on the library portion of the ATS survey. The following charts reflect data for 2017 ATLA Institutional and Affiliate Member libraries that completed the survey, issued in the fall of 2017, reflective of the most recently completed fiscal year (2017–2018). The full datasets are available in the Members Only Drive in the My ATLA Web Portal. 2017 ATS LIBRARY STATISTICS d.
