• Consider WHY the library wants feedback from
users; be specific about goals/desired outcomes
• Be mindful of your potential targets of interest:
– Customer input for library Strategic Planning
– Assessment for institutional accreditation
– Intention to become more user-centered
– Focus on specific institutional or library strategic initiatives
such as: • space/facilities issues
• collection(s) changes
• web re/design
• customer service, etc.

Manage Your Survey: Stage 1 – Customization: LibQUAL+® Lite
• LibQUAL+® Lite (why might I want to use it?)
• A survey methodology in which:
– (a) ALL users answer a few, selected survey
questions, but
– (b) the remaining survey questions are answered
ONLY by a randomly-selected subsample of users
• Thus, (a) data are collected on ALL
QUESTIONS, but (b) each user answers
FEWER QUESTIONS, thus shortening the
required response time https://www.ideals.illinois.edu/bitstream/handle/2142/14570/Kyrillidou_Martha.pdf?sequence=3
