LibQUAL + ™: National Library Service Survey Launches March 15th!

The University Libraries are participating for the second time in the national LibQUAL + ™ survey. This online survey measures library users’ satisfaction with collections and services. All full time faculty and students should participate. The results will be used to improve services and plan for the future of the libraries. The feedback that was gained in 2002 when the libraries participated for the first time in this survey was used to extend hours of operation in Boatwright and to plan for further renovations. Your feedback on this survey will be equally important. Students are eligible to win one of three Best Buy gift cards for filling out the survey.
