AU Library Survey: Thank You

Thank you! Thank you very much!
AU Library would like to thank everyone who took time to complete the 2019 AU Library LibQUAL Survey.   At the survey's conclusion, 561 students, faculty, and staff participated in the survey; 216 comments were submitted and 75 students joined us for our kick-off event.

Survey Results
We are looking forward to reviewing survey responses and will present results on our LibQUAL guide in the near future. Over the next few weeks, survey results will be compiled by LibQUAL.org and shared with AU Library. Once that happens, we will be able to share our findings with the AU Community.

Survey Comments
We will review and categorize comment data into the three categories:  affect of service, information control, and library as a place.  When complete, word clouds will be developed and shared for data visualization purposes.

Prize Drawing
Once survey email addresses are provided to us by LibQUAL.org, we will select the winners of our prize drawings. Winners will be contacted via AU email and information will be posted here, on the IRC News & Information Blog, and in a portal announcement.
