What is LibQual+? LibQual+ is an online survey developed by the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) to measure user perceptions of library service quality.

What is LibQual+? 22 core survey items –Library as Place –Affect of Service –Information Control Comment box 5 additional “local” items

What is LibQual+? Users rate each item three times, on scales of 1-9: Minimum level of acceptable service Desired level of service Actual/perceived level of services provided Comments can be about anything the user wants to tell us.

Library as Place This category addresses aspects of our physical library spaces. “Library space that inspires study and learning.” “Quiet space for individual activities.”

Affect of Service Questions in this category refer to the “personal touch” staff add to the library. “Giving users individual attention.” “Employees who understand the needs of their users.”

Information Control These questions are about users access to and use of physical and electronic information at the library. “A website enabling me to locate information on my own.” “The journals I require for my work.”

Why LibQual+? Increasing need for accountability Information for planning/trend analysis Peer institution comparisons Marketing/relationship building Improve library services! Valid, tested reliable instrument

The Staff Perspective LibQual+ is not about criticism. LibQual+ is a great opportunity to learn more about library users and maintain the Libraries’ relevance on campus.

The Details When: Feb , 2009 Who: ALL Morningside campus faculty, enrolled students, and CUL/IS staff How: A link to the survey will be ed to eligible participants

The Goodies First prize: 1 flat screen TV Runners-up: $25 gift cards for Amazon.com **CUL/IS staff are not eligible for incentives.

LibQual+ Website Provides links to: –The LibQual+ Survey (UNI login required) –FAQ about LibQual+ –Results of 2003 and 2006 LibQual+ surveys –Other feedback mechanisms for library users who do not have a valid UNI, such as “Suggestions”

2006 LibQual+ Results LibQual+ scores tell us about our users priorities, what they think we are good at, and areas where we could improve.

LibQual+ Scores Superiority Gap Adequacy Gap Desired Minimum Perceived

2006 Priorities: Highest “Desired” Scores Faculty Priorities Graduate Priorities Undergraduate Priorities Print and/or electronic journal collections I require for my work Making electronic resources accessible from my home or office A library Web site enabling me to locate information on my own Print and/or electronic journal collections I require for my work Making electronic resources accessible from my home or office A library Web site enabling me to locate information on my own Modern equipment that lets me easily access needed information

2006 Top Performing Areas Highest “Perceived” Scores Faculty Top Areas Graduate Top Areas Undergraduate Top Areas Making electronic resources accessible from my home or office Easy-to-use access tools that allow me to find things on my own Print and/or electronic journal collections I require for my work The electronic information resources I need Making information easily accessible for independent use Making electronic resources accessible from my home or office Print and/or electronic journal collections I require for my work Modern equipment that lets me easily access needed information Readiness to respond to users' questions
