A User Survey in the Asnuntuck LRC: A Report.
Wang, Chih; Moran, Michael
Asnuntuck, a small community college in north central Connecticut, has plans to expand its Learning Resource Center (LRC) not only physically, with the renovation of the entire building in which it is now housed, but also in terms of the materials and services it offers. As part of the planning process, the LRC conducted a user survey to solicit information from the college's faculty, staff, students, and other users about how they have used the LRC and how they would like the LRC to improve. A nine-item questionnaire was distributed to all faculty and staff and copies were made available for 1 week at the LRC circulation desk for students and other users. Analyses of the 44 responses received indicated that the primary reasons for using the LRC are to seek reference information and to do research either for teaching or writing papers. Time spent at the LRC by users varied evenly across the categories of more than 20 hours, 10-20 hours, 1-9 hours, and less than one hour. Suggestions for improvement included additional budget, personnel, facilities, books, and periodicals, as well as longer hours, more comfortable seating, and more study space. The responses are tallied in three tables, and a copy of the questionnaire is included. (DB)
