New York State Annual Report 2024: Home

A guide to completing the NY State Annual Report for Public LIbraries

Basic Information

  New York State requires the submission of the NYS Annual Report every year.  This guide has been compiled to help you through the process.

Annual report data is entered and submitted through an online portal called CollectConnect.

CollectConnect Link: http://collectconnect.baker-taylor.com/login.aspx 

CollectConnect is compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer. 

Each library has a separate set of login credentials.  If you need your credentials, contact Athea Mortenson

The report should save information automatically after it is entered, but be sure to click the SAVE button frequently too.

Multiple users can view and edit reports at the same time.  When logging in, you wil receive a pop-up message notifying you if someone else is also using the report to enable cooperation.

All questions can now display last year's entry as well as the 5 years preceding that by clicking History. Note: only this and last years data can be printed.

See below for the Instructions

The due date for the annual report is February 24!
