23Spring 2009 Law Library Survey Response; or What The Library Did This Summer

During the Spring 2009 semester, the Law Library conducted a survey asking students to comment on various aspects of the library. 573 students completed the survey, providing more than 1,300 separate responses. We thank everybody who completed the survey. We read every comment.

In May, the library published initial findings from the survey, focusing on qualitive responses.

Based upon student comments, the library used the Summer break to make several improvements so that the buildings, equipment,, and services better meet student current usage and needs.

Highlights from the survey responses are:

• The purchase of new chairs for the Reading Room;
• The instalation of three new free self-serve digital scanners;
• The move of the Wolff reference desk to a new location;
• The implementation of changes to the library's catalog, GULLiver, which will make it easier to locate library materials;
• The creation of a new online system for students to remotely reserve group study rooms.

The library has posted a page with the most frequent comments from the Spring Student Survey alongside library responses.

We greatly appreciate student input. Please feel free to continue this dialog through our Law Library Feedback Blog, a place where we post answers to your student questions.  You can send us your comments through our suggestion page, linked from the library's home page.  The library will use the Feedback Blog to respond.
