What Students Are Telling Us About How They Use the Libraries

 

“Here are some more of the top ways that students learned about the Libraries:

Which of the following helped you learn about the University Libraries?
Campus tour, orientation, or resources fair 21.54%
Course requirement 21.32%
A librarian came to my class 11.10%
Blackboard 10.00%
Academic Advisor 8.35%
Freshman Guide 6.70%
Recommendation from a friend 5.49%

We also wanted to know why some students don’t use the Libraries. Most of these students said that they just haven’t needed to yet but will when the need arises (32.20%). Others say that they currently have access to all the resources they need to complete their coursework (22.03%). However, there were some students who said they either don’t know how to use the Libraries or don’t know what kinds of services and resources the Libraries offer (11.86% for each). We’ll be working hard to try and bring those numbers down before the next survey.”
