ARL Assessment Forum
Paul Beavers suggests the following slides may be of interest. They are from a PowerPoint display Steve used in his presentation to the ARL Assessment Forum that he attended.
Slides 7 and 10 report on the relative importance of various resource types in conducting research. Even with the faculty ahead of the library catalog and library article indexes. Current journals, as you can imagine, are overwhelmingly seen as the most important resource with bibliographic databases second and books third. There is also a slide on “Sources Consulted for Information on Research Topics,” which makes it clear that faculty, graduates, and undergraduates alike most typically perform “open internet searches” as part of their research. But also shows that faculty and graduate students make much less use of “open internet reference sources” than the library catalog and library article indexes
Slides 3 through 6 relate what the UW Libraries learned about the modes of library use by the faculty, undergraduates, and graduates and compares the data from 2007 to the data from 1998. It even breaks down the data by various categories of faculty and graduate students. Weekly use of only the virtual library was the most reported mode for the faculty and graduate students while weekly use of both the virtual and physical libraries was most reported by undergraduates.
Slide 15 addresses the faculties views on the importance of six information literacy skills to undergraduate success and their perceptions of undergraduate performance with those skills.
