"Thanks for asking these questions. It’s important to ask all three questions (our minimum, what we want, and where we feel we are now)….

…Finally, there were no questions about ILL. Our ILL service is extraordinarily good…The recent integration of ILLIAD with several databases is a great help….
…I'd say we need to double the library's current operating budget concerning resources (and probably staff, as well)."

Comment: It is a terribly difficult challenge for libraries to stay current in traditional (books, periodicals) and new (electronic subscriptions, databases, computers, ) library resources. We have "respectable" (but not good) journal and electronic database resources, but these are increasingly critical. If we do not continue to grow our support we will not be adequate. We need to GROW the resources (funds) for print and electronic access to journals by at least 30% immediately and then by 10% annually thereafter.

Comment: The library is my favorite building on campus. It is clean, pretty, and the computers are fast. To me, staying in and being at the library and studying with friends is kind of fun.
Sometimes…conflicting points of view?

Comment: I strongly feel that there is no discipline among the students; people eat and drink in the library there is sometimes no difference between the library and Dana Center in terms of noise. Students answer calls when they want they talk when they want. May be something could be done to reduce the noise.

In our third year…
Issues of Customer Service
“…could be more friendly and receptive to people’s needs.”
“disconnected”
“rarely helpful or even cordial”
“…treat students in a condescending and disrespectful way.”

Share the good stuff!“I find the Interlibrary Loan service and its employees extremely helpful and efficient. I rely on ILL heavily for my work and believe it to be one of the Library's greatest assets…”
“The library helps me most with service: Illiad, media keys, class instruction, multimedia room for guest speakers, assistance to my students, etc. I do not expect Loyola to subscribe to all the journals I need for my research, because they do not always relate to what the students learn in my classes, but I know the Library faculty will help me to locate anything I need and cannot find on my own. Thanks!”

More strategic initiatives…
Action: Make the library building easier to use through banners that identify subject areas and improved directional signage in the stacks. Shift books at the back of the second floor to consolidate E class and make books easier to find.
Measurable outcome: LibQUAL respondents will comment that these changes have enhanced their ability to find materials and services in the library.

IC-2Action: Enhance the library web site by (1) developing and organizing subject-based content, (2) making available User Education handouts, and (3) developing a link that brings together information about services to faculty.
Measurable outcome: Users will have one place to go on the library web site for information resources in their subject area. A link for faculty services will be available.
