3 Presentation Goal  Identify key elements that contribute to a successful survey implementation

4 ARL New Measures Initiative uCollaboration among member leaders with strong interest in measurement uSpecific projects developed with different models for exploration uIntent to make resulting tools and methodologies available to full membership and wider community

5 LibQUAL+™ Description LibQUAL+™ is a suite of services that libraries use to solicit, track, understand, and act upon users’ opinions of service quality. These services are offered to the library community by ARL. The program’s centerpiece is a rigorously tested Web-based survey bundled with training that helps libraries assess and improve library services, change organizational culture and market the library

6 LibQUAL+ TM Project Goals  Foster a culture of excellence in providing library service  Help libraries better understand user perceptions of library service quality  Collect and interpret library user feedback systematically over time

7 LibQUAL+ TM Project Goals  Provide libraries with comparable assessment information from peer institutions  Identify best practices in library service  Enhance library staff members’ analytical skills for interpreting and acting on data

8 LibQUAL+™ Growth

9 LibQUAL+ TM Process as Project A Project is defined as: Non-routine series of tasks Directed toward a goal Of finite duration A way of addressing customer expectations
