LibQUAL+ Survey Results

LibQUAL+ @ University at Albany Libraries

LibQUAL+ is a research and development project undertaken by the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) in collaboration with Texas A & M University. The project is defining and measuring library service quality across institutions and creating useful quality assessment tools for libraries. The goals of the LibQUAL+ project are:

to develop web-based tools for assessing library service quality;
to develop mechanisms and protocols for evaluating libraries;
to identify best practices in providing library service; and
to establish a library service quality assessment program at ARL.

The University Libraries participated in LibQUAL+ in the spring of 2003 and are currently working to analyze the results and their implications for library services. Major findings of the study are available below.
