Needs assessment survey: A powerful opportunity to improve Library resources

SURVEY COMPLETED. SEE HERE FOR RESULTS.

Attention Faculty, Researchers, and Doctoral students:

You can make a difference in improving the quality and quantity of the Library’s research resources. By telling us how you are using these resources and expressing your research needs, the library staff and the Office of the Provost will have a better understanding and will work together to create a more supportive research environment.

The investment of your time to respond to this survey will be greatly appreciated and will help us:

---Evaluate some of the current resources
---Understand how some of these resources are used
---Find out what major resources are needed
---Develop an adequate plan to acquire additional resources

You can access the survey here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=6mnfW6_2bmc0pVuwLkSEAIYw_3d_3d, or you can print out a paper copy and return it to the Library via inter-office mail (attn: Linda Beninghove). It should take an average of 15 minutes to complete and it will be available from January 15 – February 26.

If you have any questions about the survey, please contact Linda Beninghove, Information Services Librarian, at linda.beninghove@stevens.edu or 201-216-5412.
