All Starting from Baseline Data: What Can We Do with Library Resources and Services?

All Starting from Baseline Data: What Can We Do with Library Resources and Services?

What happens if an academic library is not aware of any baseline data about distance learners’ use of library resources and services? What will the baseline data mean to the library’s existing and potential resources and services? Through a web-based survey, learn how one university library takes steps to explore and gather baseline data about whether distance learners use the library, the resources and services they used, and their preferences. Join the presenters to see how they identify and analyze the awareness and use of library resources and services by distance learners, as well as the library’s initiatives implemented to further prompt distance learners’ visit and use of library resources and services. The presenters will also share the survey instrument, its results, the issues they faced with and their future assessment plans.
