UTSA libraries seek feedback from students, faculty and staff
Share this Story(March 16, 2015) -- From March 16 to April 10, the UTSA community is invited to share thoughts about the libraries in a short, impactful survey. The questionnaire was sent by mail to students, faculty and staff, and reminder emails will be sent in the coming weeks.
The biannual survey, developed by The Association of Research Libraries, is utilized by more than 1,000 libraries across the nation. At the end of the survey, students are asked to provide their email for a chance to win a Nintendo Wii U. All responses are completely anonymous.
"This survey is instrumental in gathering the UTSA community's perspective on how we are doing," said Krisellen Maloney, dean of libraries. "The results are carefully analyzed to ensure that the libraries continue to grow and fulfill the needs of those we serve."
The survey responses are used to help shape future plans for library services and initiatives. In the past, the survey resulted in more quiet study space, improved wireless and a reservation system for group study rooms. It also indicated the need for collaborative workspaces like the John Peace Library's GroupSpot, and additional quiet zones such as the Downtown Library's quiet computing area.
"We continually seek to make library services better," said Jan Kemp, Assistant Dean for Public Services. "It's because of the feedback we've received over the years that we can continue to evolve and make the library a second home for our students."
