Yes, believe it or not, another library survey process is under way and we want to encourage you to participate. To “sweeten the deal” the University Libraries will be offering three video iPods — one each to a randomly selected faculty, undergrad and grad responder.

You may have recently received an e-mail from the University Libraries about our new survey process administered by the Association of Research Libraries. Perhaps you are wondering why there seems to be a flood of library surveys at the moment and how important this new one may be?

Our recent Learning Commons survey, answered by hundreds of students, gave us very valuable information to help our local library planning. Now, the University Libraries are conducting LibQual+, a highly respected and internationally tested process, which will assist our efforts to improve not only service at the Greater Hartford Campus but also for the entire University Libraries system. You will have no more important opportunity to let us know your opinion of library service at the University of Connecticut. As in the past, LibQual results will inform our decision making for months, and perhaps years, ahead.

The confidential survey takes only about 10 minutes of your time and you just might win one of three Video iPods.

Please respond no later than April 18, 2008!

William Uricchio — Library Director
