Library Survey a Success!
Many thanks to those students, faculty, and staff who participated in our Fall 2011 library survey. 1,157 of you took a few minutes to let us know how we're doing, and we've been carefully considering your feedback. The most notable result is that users are much more satisfied with the library than they were in 2005, when we last administered the survey. This increase was especially dramatic in the "Library as Place" category, indicating a high level of appreciation for our new building. The frequency with which survey respondents use resources on library premises has also increased significantly.
We appreciate your constructive criticism as well, and have noted that a number of you would love the library to have longer hours, more computers, more quiet areas, and a finished third floor. We are pleased to report that plans for completing the third floor construction are underway, and the anticipated layout will accommodate more quiet places to study.
Congratulations to the student in the Teaching Credentials program who won the $100 gift certificate to the CSUMB Bookstore for his participation in the survey! As promised, a generous donation was made in honor of our survey participants to a non-profit organization serving the local homeless population. Your feedback helps us understand what you need from your library.
