Item 5: Total Annual Research Assistance Transactions (Principle 4.6)

*This represents transactions from Jan. 1, 2015 to Dec. 1, 2015.

 

RefAnalytics, the web app that Research Librarians have used to record one-on-one research transactions, went live on March 17, 2011.  After working out difficulties, RefAnalytics went into full use for data collection by librarians on June 1, 2011.  Prior to that, librarians had used a very basic paper form to record frequencies.  Therefore, audience was not recorded prior to June 1, 2011.

Item 6: Research Assistance Transactions by Audience (Principle 4.6)

*Data collection by audience began on June 1, 2011.  These data, therefore, only represent 7 full months.

**Data for 2015 for this report were collected from January 1, 2015 to December 1, 2015. 

Item 7: Frequency of READ Scale Values (Principle 4.6)

*A value of zero means that the librarian failed to record a value for a transaction.

**Data reported for 2013 were gathered from March 19, 2013 to December 31, 2013.

***Data reported for 2015 were gathered from January 1, 2015 to December 1, 2015.

Item 8: Narrative Responses to Patron Surveys (Principle 4.6)

In Fall 2014 Andruss Library began distributing two forms to its patrons to assess the Library’s public services.  These two surveys were the Basic Assistance Survey, used to gather patrons’ responses to interactions at the Circulation Desk, and the Research Assistance Survey, used to gather patrons’ responses to research assistance from a librarian.  Completing a survey was not an obligation; Library personnel asked patrons to anonymously complete the appropriate survey as a courtesy to the Library.  Patrons, however, could include contact information if they wanted any type of follow-up. 

The following represents survey responses from November 1, 2014 to December 1, 2015.

Basic Assistance Survey

Question 1. Did you locate what you asked about? (n=87)
Yes, just what I wanted	Yes, with Limitations	Not what I asked for...	Only Partly	No	NR

Question 3. Did you get enough help and explanation? (n=87)
