Congratulations! You’re about to begin The National Community Survey or a custom survey. It can be helpful to have some inspiration to customize your questions for these surveys. That’s part of why we created the Polco Library, which is browsable by topic. Here is how to navigate the library to find topic areas of interest.

Once logged in, you navigate go to “[Content](https://polco.us/n/admin/content)” on the left side of your profile. Then you’ll see on the right side some suggestions for the [Polco Library](https://polco.us/n/admin/library) where you can search on surveys NRC data scientists have created, search for questions by topic area, etc. You’ll notice a few surveys that are trending in the Library. If these are of interest, you can click “View this Survey” and it’ll take you to it. You can let your project manager know which questions, if any, you’d like to possibly include on your survey.

 With the search feature, you can also find specific questions that you may want to use. If you’d like to use a specific question or questions, but not the entire survey, select the entire survey and delete any questions you don’t need. You can share this with your program manager through the [content](https://polco.us/n/admin/content) tab on Polco.
