5 LibQUAL Survey Results - UNM Libraries Page 3 of 86 1 Itroductio 1.1 Ackowledgemets This otebook cotais iformatio from the 2009 admiistratio of the LibQUAL+ protocol. The material o the followig pages is draw from the aalysis of resposes from the participatig istitutios collected i The LibQUAL+ project requires the skills of a dedicated group. We would like to thak several members of the LibQUAL+ team for their key roles i the developmet of this service. From Texas A&M Uiversity, the qualitative leadership of Yvoa Licol has bee key to the project's itegrity. The behid-the-scees roles of Bill Chollet ad others from the library Systems ad Traiig uits were also formative i the early years. From the Associatio of Research Libraries, we are appreciative of the past cotributios of Cosuella Askew, Richard Groves, Kayly Groves, Amy Hoseth, Kristia Justh, Mary Jackso, Joatha Sousa, ad Bey Yu. A New Measures iitiative of this scope is possible oly as the collaborative effort of may libraries. To the directors ad liaisos at all participatig libraries goes the largest measure of gratitude. Without your commitmet, the developmet of LibQUAL+ would ot have bee possible. We would like to exted a special thak you to all admiistrators at the participatig cosortia ad libraries that are makig this project happe effectively across various istitutios. We would like to ackowledge the role of the Fud for the Improvemet of Post-secodary Educatio (FIPSE), U.S. Departmet of Educatio, which provided grat fuds of $498,368 over a three-year period ( ). We would also like to ackowledge the support of the Natioal Sciece Foudatio (NSF) for its grat of $245,3 over a three-year period ( ) to adapt the LibQUAL+ istrumet for use i the sciece, math, egieerig, ad techology educatio digital library commuity, a assessmet protocol kow as DigiQUAL. We would like to express our thaks for the fiacial support that has eabled the researchers egaged i this project to exceed all of our expectatios i stated goals ad objectives ad deliver a remarkable assessmet tool to the library commuity.

6 Page 4 of 86 LibQUAL Survey Results - UNM Libraries 1.2 LibQUAL+ : A Project from StatsQUAL I would persoally like to say a word about the developmet of LibQUAL+ over the last few years ad to thak the people that have bee ivolved i this effort. LibQUAL+ would ot have bee possible without the may people who have offered their time ad costructive feedback over the years for the cause of improvig library services. I a sese, LibQUAL+ has built three kids of parterships: oe betwee ARL ad Texas A&M Uiversity, a secod oe amog the participatig libraries ad their staff, ad a third oe comprisig the thousads of users who have provided their valuable survey resposes over the years. LibQUAL+ was iitiated i 2000 as a experimetal project for bechmarkig perceptios of library service quality across 13 ARL libraries uder the leadership of Fred Heath ad Collee Cook, the both at Texas A&M Uiversity Libraries. It matured quickly ito a stadard assessmet tool that has bee applied at more tha 1,000 libraries, collectig iformatio o more tha half a millio library users. As of February 2009, we have had 1,16 libraries participatig, 1 laguage traslatios, 1,050,432 surveys completed, ad implemetatios i 23 differet coutries. About 40% of the users who respod to the survey provide rich commets about the ways they use their libraries. There have bee umerous advacemets over the years. I 2005, libraries were able to coduct LibQUAL+ over a two sessio period (Sessio I: Jauary to May ad Sessio II: July to December). The LibQUAL+ servers were moved from Texas A&M Uiversity to a exteral hostig facility uder the ARL brad kow as StatsQUAL. Through the StatsQUAL gateway we will cotiue to provide iovative tools for libraries to assess ad maage their eviromets i the comig years. I 2006, we added the LibQUAL+ Aalytics (for more iformatio, see Sectio 1.6). Betwee 200 ad 2009 we icorporated additioal laguages icludig Chiese, Japaese ad curretly workig o a Hebrew versio for I 2008, we lauched a experimetal platform that tests a shorter versio of the LibQUAL+ survey kow as LibQUAL+ Lite, which we expect to roll out o a operatioal basis i the comig moths. LibQUAL+ fidigs have egaged thousads of librarias i discussios with colleagues ad ARL o what these fidigs mea for local libraries, for their regios, ad for the future of libraries across the globe. Cosortia have supported their members participatio i LibQUAL+ i order to offer a iformed uderstadig of the chages occurrig i their shared eviromet.

We used to thik that libraries could provide reliable ad reasoably complete access to published ad scholarly output, yet we ow kow from LibQUAL+ that users have a isatiable appetite for cotet. No library ca ever have sufficiet iformatio cotet that would come close to satisfyig this appetite. The team at ARL ad beyod has worked hard to urture the commuity that has bee built aroud LibQUAL+. We believe that closer collaboratio ad sharig of resources will brig libraries earer to meetig the ever chagig eeds of their demadig users. It is this spirit of collaboratio ad a willigess to view the world of libraries as a orgaic, itegrated, ad cohesive eviromet that ca brig forth major iovatios ad break ew groud.

LibQUAL+ is a suite of services that libraries use to solicit, track, uderstad, ad act upo users opiios of service quality. These services are offered to the library commuity by the Associatio of Research Libraries (ARL). The program s ceterpiece is a rigorously tested Web-based survey paired with traiig that helps libraries assess ad improve library services, chage orgaizatioal culture, ad market the library. The survey istrumet measures library users miimum, perceived, ad desired service levels of service quality across three dimesios: Affect of Service, Iformatio Cotrol, ad Library as Place. The goals of LibQUAL+ are to: Foster a culture of excellece i providig library service Help libraries better uderstad user perceptios of library service quality Facilitate the o-goig collectio ad iterpretatio of library user feedback Provide comparable iformatio from peer istitutios Idetify best practices i library service Ehace library staff members aalytical skills for iterpretig, ad actig o data More tha 1,000 libraries have participated i LibQUAL+, icludig Caadia govermet libraries, colleges ad uiversities, commuity colleges, health scieces ad hospital/medical libraries, law libraries, public libraries, ad secodary school libraries---some through various cosortia, others as idepedet participats. LibQUAL+ has expaded iteratioally, with participatig istitutios i Africa, Australia, Asia ad Europe. It has bee traslated ito a umber of laguages, icludig Afrikaas, Chiese (Traditioal), Daish, Dutch, Fiish, Frech, Germa, Japaese, Norwegia, Spaish, Swedish, ad Welsh. The growig LibQUAL+ commuity of participats ad its extesive dataset are rich resources for improvig library services. How will LibQUAL+ beefit your library? Library admiistrators have successfully used LibQUAL+ survey data to idetify best practices, aalyze deficits, ad effectively allocate resources. Beefits to participatig istitutios iclude: Istitutioal data ad reports that eable you to assess whether your library services are meetig user expectatios Aggregate data ad reports that allow you to compare your library s performace with that of peer istitutios Workshops desiged for participats Access to a olie library of LibQUAL+ research articles The opportuity to become part of a commuity iterested i developig excellece i library services LibQUAL+ gives your library users a chace to tell you where your services eed improvemet so you ca respod to ad better maage their expectatios. You ca develop services that better meet your users expectatios by comparig your library s data with that of peer istitutios ad examiig the practices of those libraries that are evaluated highly by their users. How is the LibQUAL+ survey coducted? All All

9 LibQUAL Survey Results - UNM Libraries Page of 86 Coductig the LibQUAL+ survey requires little techical expertise o your part. You ivite your users to take the survey by distributig the URL for your library s Web form via . Respodets complete the survey form ad their aswers are set to the LibQUAL+ database. The data are aalyzed ad preseted to you i reports describig your users desired, perceived, ad miimum expectatios of service. What are the origis of the LibQUAL+ survey? The LibQUAL+ survey evolved from a coceptual model based o the SERVQUAL istrumet, a popular tool for assessig service quality i the private sector. The Texas A&M Uiversity Libraries ad other libraries used modified SERVQUAL istrumets for several years; those applicatios revealed the eed for a ewly adapted tool that would serve the particular requiremets of libraries. ARL, represetig the largest research libraries i North America, partered with Texas A&M Uiversity Libraries to develop, test, ad refie LibQUAL+. This effort was supported i part by a three-year grat from the U.S. Departmet of Educatio s Fud for the Improvemet of Post-Secodary Educatio (FIPSE). All All

I additio to the explaatory text below, you ca fid a self-paced tutorial o the project web site at: < Both the olie tutorial ad the text below are desiged to help you uderstad your survey results ad preset ad explai those results to others at your library. Radar Charts Radar charts are commoly used throughout the followig pages to display both aggregate results ad results from idividual istitutios. Basic iformatio about radar charts is outlied below, ad additioal descriptive iformatio is icluded throughout this otebook. What is a radar chart? Radar charts are useful whe you wat to look at several differet factors all related to oe item. Sometimes called spider charts or polar charts, radar charts feature multiple axes or spokes alog which data ca be plotted. Variatios i the data are show by distace from the ceter of the chart. Lies coect the data poits for each series, formig a spiral aroud the ceter. I the case of the LibQUAL+ survey results, each axis represets a differet survey questio. Questios are idetified by a code at the ed of each axis. The three dimesios measured by the survey are grouped together o the radar charts, ad each dimesio is labeled: Affect of Service (AS), Iformatio Cotrol (IC), ad Library as Place (LP). Radar charts are used i this otebook to preset the item summaries (the results from the 22 core survey questios). How to read a radar chart Radar charts are a effective way to show stregths ad weakesses graphically by eablig you to observe symmetry or uiformity of data. Poits close to the ceter idicate a low value, while poits ear the edge idicate a high value. Whe iterpretig a radar chart, it is importat to check each idividual axis as well as the chart s overall shape i order to gai a complete uderstadig of its meaig. You ca see how much data fluctuates by observig whether the spiral is smooth or has spikes of variability. Respodets miimum, desired, ad perceived levels of service quality are plotted o each axis of your LibQUAL+ radar charts. The resultig gaps betwee the three levels are shaded i blue, yellow, gree, ad red. Geerally, a radar graph shaded blue ad yellow idicates that users perceptios of service fall withi the zoe of tolerace ; the distace betwee miimum expectatios ad perceptios of service quality is shaded i blue, ad the distace betwee their desired ad perceived levels of service quality is show i yellow. Whe users perceptios fall outside the zoe of tolerace, the graph will iclude areas of red ad gree shadig. If the distace betwee users miimum expectatios ad perceptios of service delivery is represeted i red, that idicates a egative service adequacy gap score. If the distace betwee the desired level of service ad perceptios of service delivery is represeted i gree, that idicates a positive service superiority gap score. All All

13 LibQUAL Survey Results - UNM Libraries Page 11 of A Few Words about LibQUAL Libraries today cofrot escalatig pressure to demostrate impact. As Culle (2001) has oted, Academic libraries are curretly facig their greatest challege sice the explosio i tertiary educatio ad academic publishig which bega after World War II... [T]he emergece of the virtual uiversity, supported by the virtual library, calls ito questio may of our basic assumptios about the role of the academic library, ad the security of its future. Retaiig ad growig their customer base, ad focusig more eergy o meetig their customers' expectatios is the oly way for academic libraries to survive i this volatile eviromet. (pp ) Today, "A measure of library quality based solely o collectios has become obsolete" (Nitecki, 1996, p. 181). These cosideratios have prompted the Associatio of Research Libraries (ARL) to sposor a umber of "New Measures" iitiatives. The New Measures efforts represet a collective determiatio o the part of the ARL membership to augmet the collectio-cout ad fiscal iput measures that comprise the ARL Idex ad ARL Statistics, to date the most cosistetly collected statistics for research libraries, with outcome measures such as assessmets of service quality ad satisfactio. Oe New Measures Iitiative is the LibQUAL+ service (Cook, Heath & B. Thompso, 2002, 2003; Heath, Cook, Kyrillidou & Thompso, 2002; Kyrillidou & Cook, 2008; Kyrillidou, Cook, & Rao, 2008; Thompso, Cook & Heath, 2003; Thompso, Cook & Thompso, 2002; Thompso, Kyrillidou & Cook, 200a, 200b, 2008). Withi a service-quality assessmet model, "oly customers judge quality; all other judgmets are essetially irrelevat" (Zeithaml, Parasurama, Berry, 1990, p. 16). LibQUAL+ was modeled o the 22-item SERVQUAL tool developed by Parasurama, Berry ad Zeithaml (Parasurama, Berry & Zeithaml, 1991). However, SERVQUAL has bee show to measure some issues ot particularly relevat i libraries, ad to ot measure some issues of cosiderable iterest to library users. The fial 22 LibQUAL+ items were developed through several iteratios of studies ivolvig a larger pool of 56 items. The selectio of items employed i the LibQUAL+ survey has bee grouded i the users' perspective as revealed i a series of qualitative studies ivolvig a larger pool of items. The items were idetified followig qualitative research iterviews with studet ad faculty library users at several differet uiversities (Cook, 2002a; Cook & Heath, 2001). LibQUAL+ is ot just a list of 22 stadardized items. First, LibQUAL+ offers libraries the ability to select five optioal local service quality assessmet items. Secod, the survey icludes a commets box solicitig ope-eded user views. Almost half of the people respodig to the LibQUAL+ survey provide valuable feedback through the commets box. These ope-eded commets are helpful for ot oly (a) uderstadig why users provide certai ratigs, but also (b) uderstadig what policy chages users suggest, because may users feel the obligatio to be costructive. Participatig libraries are fidig the real-time access to user commets oe of the most useful devices i challegig library admiistrators to thik outside of the box ad develop iovative ways for improvig library services. LibQUAL+ is oe of 11 ways of listeig to users, called a total market survey. As Berry (1995) explaied, Whe well desiged ad executed, total market surveys provide a rage of iformatio umatched by ay other method... A critical facet of total market surveys (ad the reaso for All All

14 Page 12 of 86 LibQUAL Survey Results - UNM Libraries usig the word 'total') is the measuremet of competitors' service quality. This [also] requires usig o-customers i the sample to rate the service of their suppliers. (p. 3) Although (a) measurig perceptios of both users ad o-users, ad (b) collectig perceptios data with regard to peer istitutios ca provide importat isights Berry recommeded usig multiple listeig methods ad emphasized that "Ogoig data collectio... is a ecessity. Trasactioal surveys, total market surveys, ad employee research should always be icluded" (Berry, 1995, p. 54). Score Scalig "Perceived" scores o the 22 LibQUAL+ core items, the three subscales, ad the total score, are all scaled 1 to 9, with 9 beig the most favorable. Both the gap scores ("Adequacy" = "Perceived" - "Miimum"; "Superiority" = "Perceived" - "Desired") are scaled such that higher scores are more favorable. Thus, a adequacy gap score of +1.2 o a item, subscale, or total score is better tha a adequacy gap score of A superiority gap score of -0.5 o a item, subscale, or total score is better tha a superiority gap score of Usig LibQUAL+ Data I some cases LibQUAL+ data may cofirm prior expectatios ad library staff will readily formulate actio plas to remedy perceived deficiecies. But i may cases library decisio-makers will seek additioal iformatio to corroborate iterpretatios or to better uderstad the dyamics uderlyig user perceptios. For example, oce a iterpretatio is formulated, library staff might review recet submissios of users to suggestio boxes to evaluate whether LibQUAL+ data are cosistet with iterpretatios, ad the suggestio box data perhaps also provide user suggestios for remedies. User focus groups also provide a powerful way to explore problems ad potetial solutios. A uiversity-wide retreat with a small-group facilitated discussio to solicit suggestios for improvemet is aother follow-up mechaism that has bee implemeted i several LibQUAL+ participatig libraries. Ideed, the ope-eded commets gathered as part of LibQUAL+ are themselves useful i fleshig out isights ito perceived library service quality. Respodets ofte use the commets box o the survey to make costructive suggestios o specific ways to address their cocers. Qualitative aalysis of these commets ca be very fruitful. I short, LibQUAL+ is ot 22 items. LibQUAL+ is 22 items plus a commets box! Cook (2002b) provided case study reports of how staff at various libraries have employed data from prior reditios of LibQUAL+. Heath, Kyrillidou, ad Askew edited a special issue of the Joural of Library Admiistratio (Vol. 40, No. 3/4) reportig additioal case studies o the use of LibQUAL+ data to aid the improvemet of library service quality. This special issue has also bee published by Hayworth Press as a moograph. Kyrillidou (2008) edited a compilatio of articles that complemets ad provides a updated perspective o these earlier special issues. These publicatios ca be ordered by sedig a to [email protected] Data Screeig The 22 LibQUAL+ core items measure perceptios of total service quality, as well as three sub-dimesios of perceived library quality: (a) Service Affect (9 items, such as "willigess to help users"); (b) Iformatio Cotrol (8 items, such as "a library Web site eablig me to locate iformatio o my ow" ad "prit ad/or electroic joural collectios I require for my work"); ad (c) Library as Place (5 items, such as "a getaway for study, learig, or research"). All All

15 LibQUAL Survey Results - UNM Libraries Page 13 of 86 However, as happes i ay survey, i 2009 some users provided icomplete data, icosistet data, or both. I compilig the summary data reported here, several criteria were used to determie which respodets to omit from these aalyses. 1. Complete Data. The Web software that presets the 22 core items moitors whether a give user has completed all items. O each of these items, i order to submit the survey successfully, users must provide a ratig of (a) miimally-acceptable service, (b) desired service, ad (c) perceived service or rate the item "ot applicable" ("N/A"). If these coditios are ot met, whe the user attempts to leave the Web page presetig the 22 core items, the software shows the user where missig data are located, ad requests complete data. The user may of course abado the survey without completig all the items. Oly records with complete data o the 22 items ad where respodets chose a "user group," if applicable, were retaied i summary statistics. 2. Excessive "N/A" Resposes. Because some istitutios provided access to a lottery drawig for a icetive (e.g., a ipod) for completig the survey, some users might have selected "N/A" choices for all or most of the items rather tha reportig their actual perceptios. Or, some users may have views o such a arrow rage of quality issues that their data are ot very iformative. I this survey it was decided that records cotaiig more tha 11 "N/A" resposes should be elimiated from the summary statistics. 3. Excessive Icosistet Resposes. O the LibQUAL+ survey, user perceptios ca be iterpreted by locatig "perceived" results withi the "zoe of tolerace" defied by data from the "miimum" ad the "desired" ratigs. For example, a mea "perceived" ratig of.5 o the 1-to-9 (9 is highest) scale might be very good if the mea "desired" ratig is 6.0. But a.5 perceptio score is less satisfactory if the mea "desired" ratig is 8.6, or if the mea "miimum" ratig is.. Oe appealig feature of such a "gap measuremet model" is that the ratig format provides a check for icosistecies (i.e., score iversios) i the respose data (Thompso, Cook & Heath, 2000). Logically, o a give item the "miimum" ratig should ot be higher tha the "desired" ratig o the same item. For each user a cout of such icosistecies, ragig from "0" to "22," was made. Records cotaiig more tha 9 logical icosistecies were elimiated from the summary statistics. LibQUAL+ Norms A importat way to iterpret LibQUAL+ data is by examiig the zoes of tolerace for items, the three subscale scores, ad the total scores. However, the collectio of such a huge umber of user perceptios has afforded us with the uique opportuity to create orms tables that provide yet aother perspective o results. Norms tell us how scores "stack up" withi a particular user group. For example, o the 1-to-9 (9 is highest) scale, users might provide a mea "perceived" ratig of 6.5 o a item, "the prited library materials I eed for my work." The same users might provide a mea ratig o "miimum" for this item of.0, ad a mea service-adequacy "gap score" (i.e., "perceived" mius "miimum") of The zoe-of-tolerace perspective suggests that this library is ot doig well o this item, because "perceived" falls below "miimally acceptable." This is importat to kow. But there is also a secod way (i.e., ormatively) to iterpret the data. Both perspectives ca be valuable. All All

16 Page 14 of 86 LibQUAL Survey Results - UNM Libraries A total market survey admiistered to more tha 100,000 users, as was LibQUAL+ i 2004 ad 2005, affords the opportuity to ask ormative questios such as, "How does a mea 'perceived' score of 6.5 stack up amog all idividual users who completed the survey?", or "How does a mea service-adequacy gap score of -0.5 stack up amog the gap scores of all istitutios participatig i the survey?" If 0 percet of idividual users geerated "perceived" ratigs lower tha 6.5, 6.5 might ot be so bad. Ad if 90 percet of istitutios had service-adequacy gap scores lower tha -0.5 (e.g., -0., -1.1), a mea gap score of -0.5 might actually be quite good. Users simply may have quite high expectatios i this area. They may also commuicate their dissatisfactio by ratig both (a) "perceived" lower ad (b) "miimum" higher. This does ot mea that a service-adequacy gap score of -0.5 is ecessarily a cause for celebratio. But a service-adequacy gap score of -0.5 o a item for which 90 percet of istitutios have a lower gap score is a differet gap score tha the same -0.5 for a differet item i which 90 percet of istitutios have a higher service-adequacy gap score. Oly orms give us isight ito this comparative perspective. Ad a local user-satisfactio survey (as agaist a total market survey) ca ever provide this isight. Commo Miscoceptio Regardig Norms. A ufortuate ad icorrect miscoceptio is that orms make value statemets. Norms do ot make value statemets! Norms make fact statemets. If you are a forest rager, ad you make $25,000 a year, a orms table might iform you of the fact that you make less moey tha 85 percet of the adults i the Uited States. But if you love the outdoors, you do ot care very much about moey, ad you are very service-orieted, this fact statemet might ot be relevat to you. Or, i the cotext of your values, you might iterpret this fact as beig quite satisfactory. LibQUAL+ Norms Tables. Of course, the fact statemets made by the LibQUAL+ orms are oly valuable if you care about the dimesios beig evaluated by the measure. More backgroud o LibQUAL+ orms is provided by Cook ad Thompso (2001), ad Cook, Heath ad B. Thompso (2002). LibQUAL+ orms are available o the Web at the followig URLs: < < Respose Rates At the America Library Associatio (ALA) Midwiter Meetig i Sa Atoio i Jauary 2000, participats were cautioed that respose rates o the fial LibQUAL+ survey would probably rage from percet. Higher respose rates ca be realized (a) with shorter surveys that (b) are directly actio-orieted (Cook, Heath & R.L. Thompso, 2000). For example, a very high respose rate could be realized by a library director admiisterig the followig oe-item survey to users: Istructios. Please tell us what time to close the library every day.

Two cosideratios should gover the evaluatio of LibQUAL+ respose rates. Miimum Respose Rates. Respose rates are computed by dividig the umber of completed surveys at a istitutio by the umber of persos asked to complete the survey. However, we do ot kow the actual respose rates o LibQUAL+, because we do ot kow the correct deomiators for these calculatios. For example, give iadequacy i records at schools, we are ot sure how may addresses for users are accurate. Ad we do ot kow how may messages to ivite participatio were actually opeed. I other words, what we kow for LibQUAL+ is the "lower-boud estimate" of respose rates. For example, if 200 out of 800 solicitatios result i completed surveys, we kow that the respose rate is at least 25 percet. But because we are ot sure whether 800 addresses were correct or that 800 messages were opeed, we are ot sure that 800 is the correct deomiator. The respose rate ivolvig oly correct addresses might be 35 or 45 percet. We do't kow the exact respose rate. Represetativeess Versus Respose Rate. If 100 percet of the 800 people we radomly selected to complete our survey did so, the we ca be assured that the results are represetative of all users. But if oly 25 percet of the 800 users complete the survey, the represetativeess of the results is ot assured. Nor is urepresetativeess assured. Represetativeess is actually a matter of degree. Ad several istitutios each with 25 percet respose rates may have data with differet degrees of represetativeess. We ca ever be sure about how represetative our data are as log as ot everyoe completes the survey. But we ca at least address this cocer by comparig the demographic profiles of survey completers with the populatio (Thompso, 2000). At which uiversity below would oe feel more cofidet that LibQUAL+ results were reasoably represetative?

18 Page 16 of 86 LibQUAL Survey Results - UNM Libraries The persuasiveess of such aalyses is greater as the umber of variables used i the comparisos is greater. The LibQUAL+ software has bee expaded to automate these comparisos ad to output side-by-side graphs ad tables comparig sample ad populatio profiles for give istitutios. Show these to people who questio result represetativeess. However, oe cautio is i order regardig percetages. Whe total is small for a istitutio, or withi a particular subgroup, huge chages i percetages ca result from very small shifts i umbers. LibQUAL+ Iteractive Statistics I additio to the istitutio ad group otebooks ad the orms, LibQUAL+ has also provided a iteractive eviromet for data aalysis where istitutios ca mie istitutioal data for peer comparisos i 2003 ad The LibQUAL+ Iteractive Statistics for these years icludes graphig capabilities for all LibQUAL+ scores (total ad dimesio scores) for each idividual istitutio or groups of istitutios. Graphs may be geerated i either JPEG format for presetatio purposes or flash format that icludes more detailed iformatio for olie browsig. Tables may also be produced i a iteractive fashio for oe or multiple selectios of variables for all idividual istitutios or groups of participatig istitutios. To access the LibQUAL+ Iteractive Statistics olie, go to: < LibQUAL+ Aalytics The LibQUAL+ Aalytics is a ew tool that permits participats to dyamically create istitutio-specific tables ad charts for differet subgroups ad across years. The curret iterface grats access to statistical data ad has two sectios: (a) (b) Istitutio Explorer icludes a summary of all questios ad dimesio meas for ay combiatio of user groups ad disciplies. Logitudial Aalysis allows participats to perform logitudial comparisos of their data across survey years. These two fuctioalities are oly the begiig of our effort to provide more customized aalysis. More features are i developmet based o feedback we receive from our participats. Survey Data I additio to the otebooks, the orms, the Iteractive Statistics, ad the Aalytics, LibQUAL+ also makes available (a) raw survey data i SPSS at the request of participatig libraries, ad (b) raw survey data i Excel for all participatig libraries. Additioal traiig usig the SPSS data file is available as a follow-up workshop ad through the Service Quality Evaluatio Academy (see below), which also offers traiig o aalyzig qualitative data. The survey commets are also dowloadable i Excel format from the Web site. ARL Service Quality Evaluatio Academy LibQUAL+ is a importat tool i the New Measures toolbox that librarias ca use to improve service quality. But, eve more fudametally, the LibQUAL+ iitiative is more tha a sigle tool. LibQUAL+ is a effort to create a culture of data-drive service quality assessmet ad service quality improvemet withi libraries. All All
