The material o the followig pages is draw from the aalysis of resposes from the participatig istitutios collected i The LibQUAL+ project requires the skills of a dedicated group. We would like to thak several members of the LibQUAL+ team for their key roles i this developmetal project. From Texas A&M Uiversity, the quatitative guidace of Bruce Thompso ad the qualitative leadership of Yvoa Licol have bee key to the project's itegrity. The behid-the-scees roles of Bill Chollet ad others from the library Systems ad Traiig uits were also formative. From the Associatio of Research Libraries, we are appreciative of the project maagemet role of Martha Kyrillidou ad the techical developmet role of Joatha Sousa, as well as the commuicatios ad admiistratio support provided by Amy Hoseth, Richard Groves, ad MaShaa Davis. A New Measures Iitiative of this scope is possible oly as the collaborative effort of may libraries. To the directors ad liaisos at all participatig libraries goes the largest measure of gratitude. Without your commitmet, the developmet of LibQUAL+ would ot have bee possible. We would like to exted a special thak you to all admiistrators at the participatig cosortia ad libraries that are makig this project happe effectively across various istitutios. We would like to ackowledge the role of the Fud for the Improvemet of Post-secodary Educatio (FIPSE), U.S. Departmet of Educatio, which provided grat fuds of $49,36 over a three-year period ( ). We would also like to ackowledge the support of the Natioal Sciece Foudatio (NSF) for its grat of $245,737 over a three-year period ( ) to adapt the LibQUAL+ istrumet for use i the sciece, math, egieerig, ad techology educatio digital library commuity, a assessmet tool i developmet ow called DigiQUAL. We would like to express our thaks for the fiacial support that has eabled the researchers egaged i this project to exceed all of our expectatios i stated goals ad objectives ad deliver a remarkable assessmet tool to the library commuity.

6 Page 4 of 94 LibQUAL Survey Results - Bloomsburg Uiversity, Adruss Library 1.2 LibQUAL+ : a Project from StatsQUAL I would persoally like to say a word about the developmet of LibQUAL+ over the last few years ad to thak the people that have bee ivolved i this effort. LibQUAL+ would ot have bee possible without the may people who have offered their time ad costructive feedback over the years for the cause of improvig library services. I a sese, LibQUAL+ has built three kids of parterships: oe betwee ARL ad Texas A&M Uiversity, a secod oe amog the participatig libraries ad their staff, ad a third oe comprisig the thousads of users who have provided their valuable survey resposes over the years. LibQUAL+ was iitiated i 2000 as a experimetal project for bechmarkig perceptios of library service quality across 13 ARL Libraries uder the leadership of, Fred Heath ad Collee Cook, the both at the Texas A&M Uiversity libraries. It matured quickly ito a stadard assessmet tool that has bee applied at more tha 700 libraries, collectig iformatio o more tha half a millio library users. Each year sice 2003, we have had more tha 200 libraries coduct LibQUAL+, more tha 100,000 users respod, ad aually more tha 50,000 users provide rich commets about the ways they use their libraries. There have bee umerous advacemets over the years. I 2005, libraries were able to coduct LibQUAL+ over a two sessio period (Sessio I: Jauary to May ad Sessio II: July to December). The LibQUAL+ servers were moved from Texas A&M to a exteral hostig facility uder the ARL brad kow as StatsQUAL. Through the StatsQUAL gateway we will cotiue to provide iovative tools for libraries to assess ad maage their eviromets i the comig years. LibQUAL+ fidigs have egaged thousads of librarias i discussios with colleagues ad ARL o what these fidigs mea for local libraries, for their regios, ad for the future of libraries across the globe. Cosortia have supported their members participatio i LibQUAL+ i order to offer a iformed uderstadig of the chages occurrig i their shared eviromet. Summary highlights have bee published o a aual basis showcasig the rich array of iformatio available through LibQUAL+ : LibQUAL Survey Highlights < LibQUAL Survey Highlights < LibQUAL Survey Highlights < Summary published reports have also bee made available: < The socio-ecoomic ad techological chages that are takig place aroud us are affectig the ways users iteract with libraries. We used to thik that libraries could provide reliable ad reasoably complete access to published ad scholarly output, yet we ow kow from LibQUAL+ that users have a isatiable appetite for cotet. No library ca ever have sufficiet iformatio cotet that would come close to satisfyig this appetite. All All

We believe that closer collaboratio ad sharig of resources will brig libraries earer to meetig the ever chagig eeds of their demadig users. It is this spirit of collaboratio ad a willigess to view the world of libraries as a orgaic, itegrated, ad cohesive eviromet that ca brig forth major iovatios ad break ew groud. Iovatio ad aggressive marketig of the role of libraries i beefitig their commuities stregthe libraries. I a example of collaboratio, LibQUAL+ participats are sharig their results withi the LibQUAL+ commuity with a opeess that evertheless respects the cofidetiality of each istitutio ad its users. LibQUAL+ participats are actively shapig our Share Fair gatherigs, our i-perso evets, ad our uderstadig of how the collected data ca be used. LibQUAL+ offers a rich resource that ca be viewed usig may leses, should be iterpreted i multiple ways, ad is a powerful tool libraries ca use to uderstad their eviromet. LibQUAL+ is a commuity mechaism for improvig libraries ad I hope we see a icreasig umber of libraries utilizig it successfully i the years to come. I look forward to your cotiuig active ivolvemet i helpig us uderstad the may ways we ca improve library services.

LibQUAL+ is a suite of services that libraries use to solicit, track, uderstad, ad act upo users opiios of service quality. These services are offered to the library commuity by the Associatio of Research Libraries (ARL). The program s ceterpiece is a rigorously tested Web-based survey budled with traiig that helps libraries assess ad improve library services, chage orgaizatioal culture, ad market the library. The goals of LibQUAL+ are to: Foster a culture of excellece i providig library service Help libraries better uderstad user perceptios of library service quality Collect ad iterpret library user feedback systematically over time Provide libraries with comparable assessmet iformatio from peer istitutios Idetify best practices i library service Ehace library staff members aalytical skills for iterpretig ad actig o data As of sprig 2006, more tha 700 libraries have participated i the LibQUAL+ survey, icludig colleges ad uiversities, commuity colleges, health scieces ad hospital/medical libraries, law libraries, ad public libraries-some through various cosortia, others as idepedet participats. LibQUAL+ has expaded iteratioally, with participatig istitutios i Caada, the U.K., ad other Europea coutries as well as Australia ad South Africa. It has bee traslated ito a umber of laguages, icludig Frech, Swedish, Dutch, Afrikaas, Germa, Daish, Fiish, ad Norwegia. The growig LibQUAL+ commuity of participats ad its extesive dataset are rich resources for improvig library services. How will LibQUAL+ beefit your library? Library admiistrators have successfully used LibQUAL+ survey data to idetify best practices, aalyze deficits, ad effectively allocate resources. Beefits to participatig istitutios iclude: Istitutioal data ad reports that eable you to assess whether your library services are meetig user expectatios Aggregate data ad reports that allow you to compare your library s performace with that of peer istitutios Workshops desiged for participats Access to a olie library of LibQUAL+ research articles The opportuity to become part of a commuity iterested i developig excellece i library services LibQUAL+ gives your library users a chace to tell you where your services eed improvemet so you ca respod to ad better maage their expectatios. You ca develop services that better meet your users expectatios by comparig your library s data with that of peer istitutios ad examiig the practices of those libraries that are evaluated highly by their users. How is the LibQUAL+ survey coducted? Coductig the LibQUAL+ survey requires little techical expertise o your part. You ivite your users to take All All

Respodets complete the survey form ad their aswers are set to a cetral database. The data are aalyzed ad preseted to you i reports describig your users desired, perceived, ad miimum expectatios of service. What are the origis of the LibQUAL+ survey? The LibQUAL+ survey evolved from a coceptual model based o the SERVQUAL istrumet, a popular tool for assessig service quality i the private sector. The Texas A&M Uiversity Libraries ad other libraries used modified SERVQUAL istrumets for several years; those applicatios revealed the eed for a ewly adapted tool that would serve the particular requiremets of libraries. ARL, represetig the largest research libraries i North America, partered with Texas A&M Uiversity Libraries to develop, test, ad refie LibQUAL+. This effort was supported i part by a three-year grat from the U.S. Departmet of Educatio s Fud for the Improvemet of Post-Secodary Educatio (FIPSE). All All

I additio to the explaatory text below, you ca fid a self-paced tutorial o the project web site at: < Both the olie tutorial ad the text below are desiged to help you uderstad your survey results ad preset ad explai those results to others at your library. Radar Charts Radar charts are commoly used throughout the followig pages to display both aggregate results ad results from idividual istitutios. Basic iformatio about radar charts is outlied below, ad additioal descriptive iformatio is icluded throughout this otebook. What is a radar chart? Radar charts are useful whe you wat to look at several differet factors all related to oe item. Sometimes called spider charts or polar charts, radar charts feature multiple axes or spokes alog which data ca be plotted. Variatios i the data are show by distace from the ceter of the chart. Lies coect the data poits for each series, formig a spiral aroud the ceter. I the case of the LibQUAL+ survey results, each axis represets a differet survey questio. Questios are idetified by a code at the ed of each axis. The three dimesios measured by the survey are grouped together o the radar charts, ad each dimesio is labeled: Affect of Service (AS), Library as Place (LP), ad Iformatio Cotrol (IC). Radar charts are used i this otebook to preset the item summaries (the results from the 22 core survey questios). How to read a radar chart Radar charts are a effective way to graphically show stregths ad weakesses by eablig you to observe symmetry or uiformity of data. Poits close to the ceter idicate a low value, while poits ear the edge idicate a high value. Whe iterpretig a radar chart, it is importat to check each idividual axis as well as the chart s overall shape i order to gai a complete uderstadig of its meaig. You ca see how much data fluctuates by observig whether the spiral is smooth or has spikes of variability. Respodets miimum, desired, ad perceived levels of service quality are plotted o each axis of your LibQUAL+ radar charts. The resultig gaps betwee the three levels are shaded i blue, yellow, gree, ad red. Geerally, a radar graph shaded blue ad yellow idicates that users perceptios of service fall withi the zoe of tolerace ; the distace betwee miimum expectatios ad perceptios of service quality is shaded i blue, ad the distace betwee their desired ad perceived levels of service quality is show i yellow. Whe users perceptios fall outside the zoe of tolerace, the graph will iclude areas of red ad gree shadig. If the distace betwee users miimum expectatios ad perceptios of service delivery is represeted i red, that idicates a egative service adequacy gap score. If the distace betwee the desired level of service ad perceptios of service delivery is represeted i gree, that idicates a positive service superiority gap score. All All

Both meas ad stadard deviatios are provided for service adequacy gap scores o each item of the survey, as well as for each of the three dimesios of library service quality. I geeral, service adequacy is a idicator of the extet to which you are meetig the miimum expectatios of your users. A egative service adequacy gap score idicates that your users perceived level of service quality is below their miimum level of service quality ad is prited i red. Service Superiority The Service superiority gap score is calculated by subtractig the desired score from the perceived score o ay give questio, for each user. Both meas ad stadard deviatios are provided for service superiority gap scores o each item of the survey, as well as for each of the three dimesios of library service quality. I geeral, service superiority is a idicator of the extet to which you are exceedig the desired expectatios of your users. A positive service superiority gap score idicates that your users perceived level of service quality is above their desired level of service quality ad is prited i gree.

13 LibQUAL Survey Results - Bloomsburg Uiversity, Adruss Library Page 11 of A Few Words about LibQUAL Libraries today cofrot escalatig pressure to demostrate impact. As Culle (2001) has oted, Academic libraries are curretly facig their greatest challege sice the explosio i tertiary educatio ad academic publishig which bega after World War II... [T]he emergece of the virtual uiversity, supported by the virtual library, calls ito questio may of our basic assumptios about the role of the academic library, ad the security of its future. Retaiig ad growig their customer base, ad focusig more eergy o meetig their customers' expectatios is the oly way for academic libraries to survive i this volatile eviromet. (pp ) Today, "A measure of library quality based solely o collectios has become obsolete" (Nitecki, 1996, p. 11). These cosideratios have prompted the Associatio of Research Libraries (ARL) to sposor a umber of "New Measures" iitiatives. The New Measures efforts represet a collective determiatio o the part of the ARL membership to augmet the collectio-cout ad fiscal iput measures that comprise the ARL Idex ad ARL Statistics, to date the most cosistetly collected statistics for research libraries, with outcome measures such as assessmets of service quality ad satisfactio. Oe New Measures iitiative is the LibQUAL+ project (Cook, Heath & B. Thompso, 2002, 2003; Heath, Cook, Kyrillidou & Thompso, 2002; Thompso, Cook & Heath, 2003; Thompso, Cook & Thompso, 2002). Withi a service-quality assessmet model, "oly customers judge quality; all other judgmets are essetially irrelevat" (Zeithaml, Parasurama, Berry, 1990, p. 16). LibQUAL+ was modeled o the 22-item SERVQUAL tool developed by Parasurama, Berry ad Zeithaml (Parasurama, Berry & Zeithaml, 1991). However, SERVQUAL has bee show to measure some issues ot particularly relevat i libraries, ad to ot measure some issues of cosiderable iterest to library users. The fial 22 LibQUAL+ items were developed through several iteratios of studies ivolvig a larger pool of 56 items. The selectio of items employed i the LibQUAL+ survey has bee grouded i the users' perspective as revealed i a series of qualitative studies ivolvig a larger pool of items. The items were idetified followig qualitative research iterviews with studet ad faculty library users at several differet uiversities (Cook, 2002a; Cook & Heath, 2001). LibQUAL+ is ot just a list of 22 stadardized items. First, LibQUAL+ offers libraries the ability to select five optioal local service quality assessmet items. Secod, the survey icludes a commets box solicitig ope-eded user views. Almost half of the people respodig to the LibQUAL+ survey provide valuable feedback through the commets box. These ope-eded commets are helpful for ot oly (a) uderstadig why users provide certai ratigs, but also (b) uderstadig what policy chages users suggest, because may users feel the obligatio to be costructive. Participatig libraries are fidig the real-time access to user commets oe of the most useful devices i challegig library admiistrators to thik outside of the box ad develop iovative ways for improvig library services. LibQUAL+ is oe of 11 ways of listeig to users, called a total market survey. As Berry (1995) explaied, Whe well desiged ad executed, total market surveys provide a rage of iformatio umatched by ay other method... A critical facet of total market surveys (ad the reaso for usig the word 'total') is the measuremet of competitors' service quality. This [also] requires All All

(p. 37) Although (a) measurig perceptios of both users ad o-users, ad (b) collectig perceptios data with regard to peer istitutios ca provide importat isights Berry recommeded usig multiple listeig methods, ad emphasized that "Ogoig data collectio... is a ecessity. Trasactioal surveys, total market surveys, ad employee research should always be icluded" (Berry, 1995, p. 54). Score Scalig "Perceived" scores o the 22 LibQUAL+ core items, the three subscales, ad the total score, are all scaled 1 to 9, with 9 beig the most favorable. Both the gap scores ("Adequacy" = "Perceived" - "Miimum"; "Superiority" = "Perceived" - "Desired") are scaled such that higher scores are more favorable. Thus, a adequacy gap score of +1.2 o a item, subscale, or total score is better tha a adequacy gap score of A superiority gap score of -0.5 o a item, subscale, or total score is better tha a superiority gap score of Usig LibQUAL+ Data I some cases LibQUAL+ data may cofirm prior expectatios ad library staff will readily formulate actio plas to remedy perceived deficiecies. But i may cases library decisio-makers will seek additioal iformatio to corroborate iterpretatios or to better uderstad the dyamics uderlyig user perceptios. For example, oce a iterpretatio is formulated, library staff might review recet submissios of users to suggestio boxes to evaluate whether LibQUAL+ data are cosistet with iterpretatios, ad the suggestio box data perhaps also provide user suggestios for remedies. User focus groups also provide a powerful way to explore problems ad potetial solutios. A uiversity-wide retreat with a small-group facilitated discussio to solicit suggestios for improvemet is aother follow-up mechaism that has bee implemeted i several LibQUAL+ participatig libraries. Ideed, the ope-eded commets gathered as part of LibQUAL+ are themselves useful i fleshig out isights ito perceived library service quality. Respodets ofte use the commets box o the survey to make costructive suggestios o specific ways to address their cocers. Qualitative aalysis of these commets ca be very fruitful. I short, LibQUAL+ is ot 22 items. LibQUAL+ is 22 items plus a commets box! Cook (2002b) provided case study reports of how staff at various libraries have employed data from prior reditios of LibQUAL+. Heath, Kyrillidou, ad Askew edited a special issue of the Joural of Library Admiistratio (Vol. 40, No. 3/4) reportig additioal case studies o the use of LibQUAL+ data to aid the improvemet of library service quality. This special issue has recetly bee published by Hayworth Press as a moograph. These publicatios ca be ordered by sedig a to libqual@arl.org Data Screeig The 22 LibQUAL+ core quatitative items measure perceptios of total service quality, as well as three sub-dimesios of perceived library quality: (a) Service Affect (9 items, such as "willigess to help users"); (b) Library as Place (5 items, such as "a getaway for study, learig, or research"); ad (c) Iformatio Cotrol ( items, such as "a library Web site eablig me to locate iformatio o my ow" ad "prit ad/or electroic joural collectios I require for my work"). All All

15 LibQUAL Survey Results - Bloomsburg Uiversity, Adruss Library Page 13 of 94 However, as happes i ay survey, i 2006 some users provided icomplete data, or icosistet data, or both. I compilig the summary data reported here, several criteria were used to determie which respodets to omit from these aalyses. 1. Complete Data. The Web software that presets the 22 core items moitors whether a give user has completed all items. O each of these items, i order to submit the survey successfully, users must provide a ratig of (a) miimally-acceptable service, (b) desired service, ad (c) perceived service or rate the item "ot applicable" ("NA"). If these coditios are ot met, whe the user attempts to leave the Web page presetig the 22 core items, the software shows the user where missig data are located, ad requests complete data. The user may of course abado the survey without completig all the items. Oly records with complete data o the 22 items ad where respodets chose a "user group," if applicable, were retaied i summary statistics. 2. Excessive "NA" Resposes. Because some istitutios provided access to a lottery drawig for a icetive (e.g., a Palm PDA) for completig the survey, some users might have selected "NA" choices for all or most of the items rather tha reportig their actual perceptios. Or some users may have views o such a arrow rage of quality issues that their data are ot very iformative. I this survey it was decided that records cotaiig more tha 11 "NA" resposes should be elimiated from the summary statistics. 3. Excessive Icosistet Resposes. O LibQUAL+, user perceptios ca be iterpreted by locatig "perceived" results withi the "zoe of tolerace" defied by data from the "miimum" ad the "desired" ratigs. For example, a mea "perceived" ratig o the 1-to-9 (9 is highest) scale of 7.5 might be very good if the mea "desired" ratig is 6.0. But a 7.5 perceptio score is less satisfactory if the mea "desired" ratig is.6, or if the mea "miimum" ratig is 7.7. Oe appealig feature of such a "gap measuremet model" is that the ratig format provides a check for icosistecies (i.e., score iversios) i the respose data (Thompso, Cook & Heath, 2000). Logically, o a give item the "miimum" ratig should ot be higher tha the "desired" ratig o the same item. For each user a cout of such icosistecies, ragig from "0" to "22," was made. Records cotaiig more tha 9 logical icosistecies were elimiated from the summary statistics. LibQUAL+ Norms A importat way to iterpret LibQUAL+ data is by examiig the zoes of tolerace for items, the three subscale scores, ad the total scores. However, the collectio of such a huge umber of user perceptios has afforded us with the uique opportuity to create orms tables that provide yet aother perspective o results. Norms tell us how scores "stack up" withi a particular user group. For example, o the 1-to-9 (9 is highest) scale, users might provide a mea "perceived" ratig of 6.5 o a item, "the prited library materials I eed for my work." The same users might provide a mea ratig o "miimum" for this item of 7.0, ad a mea service-adequacy "gap score" (i.e., "perceived" mius "miimum") of The zoe-of-tolerace perspective suggests that this library is ot doig well o this item, because "perceived" falls below "miimally acceptable." This is importat to kow. But there is also a secod way (i.e., ormatively) to iterpret the data. Both perspectives ca be valuable. A total market survey admiistered to more tha 100,000 users, as was LibQUAL+ i 2004 ad 2005, affords the All All

16 Page 14 of 94 LibQUAL Survey Results - Bloomsburg Uiversity, Adruss Library opportuity to ask ormative questios such as, "How does a mea 'perceived' score of 6.5 stack up amog all idividual users who completed the survey?", or "How does a mea service-adequacy gap score of -0.5 stack up amog the gap scores of all istitutios participatig i the survey?" If 70 percet of idividual users geerated "perceived" ratigs lower tha 6.5, 6.5 might ot be so bad. Ad if 90 percet of istitutios had service-adequacy gap scores lower tha -0.5 (e.g., -0.7, -1.1), a mea gap score of -0.5 might actually be quite good. Users simply may have quite high expectatios i this area. They may also commuicate their dissatisfactio by ratig both (a) "perceived" lower ad (b) "miimum" higher. This does ot mea that a service-adequacy gap score of -0.5 is ecessarily a cause for celebratio. But a service-adequacy gap score of -0.5 o a item for which 90 percet of istitutios have a lower gap score is a differet gap score tha the same -0.5 for a differet item i which 90 percet of istitutios have a higher service-adequacy gap score. Oly orms give us isight ito this comparative perspective. Ad a local user-satisfactio survey (as agaist a total market survey) ca ever provide this isight. Commo Miscoceptio Regardig Norms. A ufortuate ad icorrect miscoceptio is that orms make value statemets. Norms do ot make value statemets! Norms make fact statemets. If you are a forest rager, ad you make $25,000 a year, a orms table might iform you of the fact that you make less moey tha 5 percet of the adults i the Uited States. But if you love the outdoors, you do ot care very much about moey, ad you are very service -orieted, this fact statemet might ot be relevat to you. Or, i the cotext of your values, you might iterpret this fact as beig quite satisfactory. LibQUAL+ Norms Tables. Of course, the fact statemets made by the LibQUAL+ orms are oly valuable if you care about the dimesios beig evaluated by the measure. More backgroud o LibQUAL+ orms is provided by Cook ad Thompso (2001) ad Cook, Heath ad B. Thompso (2002). LibQUAL+ orms for earlier years are available o the Web at the followig URLs: < < Respose Rates At the America Library Associatio mid-witer meetig i Sa Atoio i Jauary, 2000, participats were cautioed that respose rates o the fial LibQUAL+ survey would probably rage from percet. Higher respose rates ca be realized (a) with shorter surveys that (b) are directly actio-orieted (Cook, Heath & R.L. Thompso, 2000). For example, a very high respose rate could be realized by a library director admiisterig the followig oe-item survey to users: Istructios. Please tell us what time to close the library every day. I the future we will close at whatever time receives the most votes. Should we close the library at? (A) 10 p.m. (B) 11 p.m. (C) midight (D) 2 p.m. All All

17 LibQUAL Survey Results - Bloomsburg Uiversity, Adruss Library Page 15 of 94 Lower respose rates will be expected for total market surveys measurig geeral perceptios of users across istitutios, ad whe a itetioal effort is made to solicit perceptios of both users ad o-users. Two cosideratios should gover the evaluatio of LibQUAL+ respose rates. Miimum Respose Rates. Respose rates are computed by dividig the umber of completed surveys at a istitutio by the umber of persos asked to complete the survey. However, we do ot kow the actual respose rates o LibQUAL+, because we do ot kow the correct deomiators for these calculatios. For example, give iadequacy i records at schools, we are ot sure how may addresses for users are accurate. Ad we do ot kow how may messages to ivite participatio were actually opeed. I other words, what we kow for LibQUAL+ is the "lower-boud estimate" of respose rates. For example, if 200 out of 00 solicitatios result i completed surveys, we kow that the respose rate is at least 25 percet. But because we are ot sure whether 00 addresses were correct or that 00 messages were opeed, we are ot sure that 00 is the correct deomiator. The respose rate ivolvig oly correct addresses might be 35 or 45 percet. We do't kow the exact respose rate. Represetativeess Versus Respose Rate. If 100 percet of the 00 people we radomly selected to complete our survey did so, the we ca be assured that the results are represetative of all users. But if oly 25 percet of the 00 users complete the survey, the represetativeess of the results is ot assured. Nor is urepresetativeess assured. Represetativeess is actually a matter of degree. Ad several istitutios each with 25 percet respose rates may have data with differet degrees of represetativeess. We ca ever be sure about how represetative our data are as log as ot everyoe completes the survey. But we ca at least address this cocer by comparig the demographic profiles of survey completers with the populatio (Thompso, 2000). At which uiversity below would oe feel more cofidet that LibQUAL+ results were reasoably represetative?

95 LibQUAL Survey Results - Bloomsburg Uiversity, Adruss Library Page 93 of 94 9 Appedix A: LibQUAL+ Dimesios LibQUAL+ measures dimesios of perceived library quality - that is, each survey questio is part of a broader category (a dimesio), ad scores withi those categories are aalyzed i order to derive more geeral iformatio about library users' perceptios of service. These dimesios were first based o the origial SERVQUAL survey istrumet (the framework for the LibQUAL+ survey tool; for more iformatio o the origis of LibQUAL+, go to < The LibQUAL+ survey dimesios have evolved with each iteratio, becomig more refied ad focused for applicatio to the library cotext. Dimesios for each iteratio of the LibQUAL+ survey are outlied below. LibQUAL Dimesios The 2000 iteratio of the LibQUAL+ survey, which had 41 questios, measured eight separate dimesios: Assurace (the kowledge ad courtesy of employees, ad their ability to covey trust ad cofidece) Empathy (carig, idividual attetio) Library as Place (library as a sactuary/have or site for learig ad cotemplatio) Reliability (ability to perform the promised service depedably ad accurately) Resposiveess (willigess to help customers ad provide prompt service) Tagibles (appearace of physical facilities, equipmet, persoel ad commuicatios materials) Istructios/Custom Items Self-Reliace LibQUAL Dimesios After careful aalysis of the results from the 2000 survey, the dimesios were further refied to re-groud the SERVQUAL items i the library cotext. Four sub-dimesios resulted for the 2001 iteratio: Service Affect (ie items, such as willigess to help users ) Library as Place (five items, such as a have for quiet ad solitude ) Persoal Cotrol (six items, such as website eablig me to locate iformatio o my ow ), ad Iformatio Access (five items, such as comprehesive prit collectios ad coveiet busiess hours ) LibQUAL ad 2003 Dimesios For the 2002 iteratio of the LibQUAL+ survey, the dimesios were oce agai refied based o aalysis of the previous year's results. While the four dimesios were retaied, their titles were chaged slightly to more clearly represet the questios ad data. The same four dimesios were also used o the 2003 survey: Access to Iformatio Affect of Service Library as Place Persoal Cotrol All All

96 Page 94 of 94 LibQUAL Survey Results - Bloomsburg Uiversity, Adruss Library LibQUAL Dimesios After the 2003 survey was completed, factor ad reliability aalyses o the resultig data revealed that two of the dimesios measured by the survey - Access to Iformatio ad Persoal Cotrol - had collapsed ito oe.
