Large-scale graduate and professional student survey opens March 18

By: Lana Munip

The University Libraries will conduct a survey of graduate and professional students on a range of topics, including library resource use, perceptions of service and current and future needs. The survey will run from March 18, 2019, to April 15, 2019, and will be administered in partnership with a national research organization, Ithaka S+R.

This is the first large-scale survey of graduate and professional students conducted by the University Libraries. The results will inform service, space and resource planning and will enable the Libraries to make targeted enhancements based on student needs. A sample of graduate and professional students will receive an email invitation to participate in the survey on Mar. 18.

For each completed response received, the University Libraries will donate $2 to the Lion’s Pantry, the University’s student food pantry.

For more information about the survey, please contact Steve Borrelli, head, Library Assessment, smb96@psu.edu/814-863-1909.
