During Spring 2006 the Zach S. Henderson Library participated in a national
survey of academic library effectiveness. Students and faculty
members were invited to complete a web-based patron satisfaction survey.
The questionnaire, called LibQUAL+, is a large-scale assessment of library
service effectiveness developed by the Association of Research Libraries
in collaboration with Texas A & M University. LibQUAL+ was
patterned after the SERVQUAL instrument developed by Leonard L. Berry
(Distinguished Professor, Texas A & M University), A. Parasuraman,
and Valarie A. Zeithaml.
The survey enabled us to identify what our patrons regard as our strengths
and weaknesses across the several dimensions defining service quality. The
first link below will take you to an executive summary of the results and the
actions we intend to take in response. The second link will connect you
to a PDF file of the full survey results. We greatly appreciate
the feedback we received from all the respondents.
