How do we find out if the research needs of the online community are being met in the same way as the students on campus?

Do online students and faculty know what library services and resources are available to them? I don’t think so!

Pilot Project Customer satisfaction
“Having access to an online voice of library assistance is essential for success in my class. Many of my students have no experience doing extensive research and are unfamiliar with our library and/or its materials or services. Without Millie's help, they would spend all their time looking for rather than reviewing and utilizing materials.”
Professor Lorretta HollowayLiterature for Children

“Without the library staff assistance, students
would be limited to what they can locate
themselves on the databases, if they access
them, or the Web, which, as we know, has a
myriad of poor, undocumented, anecdotal
documents that cannot be relied upon as valid
research studies.”Professor Pam Bretschneider
Research and Evaluation

“The researching techniques I have learned
just by reading other posts has allowed me to
help my students at school when they are
attempting to do research. This useful
information has also transferred from this
course to another course I am taking as well.
What a huge time-saver.”
