During Spring Quarter, 1998, the Libraries will be conducting its triennial survey of faculty, graduate and undergraduate students. The survey will ask the members of the campus community about their library use, satisfaction with the Libraries collections and services, and their library and information needs and priorities. Gathering information through surveys is critical to the Libraries' goal of meeting the needs of its users. The information gleaned from the earlier surveys has been used in many ways, including forming service decisions and guiding important initiatives and programs.
