Gratch, Bonnie York, Charlene Academic Libraries College English Higher Education Library Facilities Library Instruction Library Materials Library Research Library Services Library Skills Research Skills Undergraduate Students User Satisfaction (Information) Workbooks Writing Instruction In Fall 1984, the Library User Education (LUE) coordinator of Jerome Library at Bowling Green State University introduced a library research skills component to a writing course required of all undergraduate students. The component consisted of two parts: a self-guided tour with questions, and basic library research skills guides with worksheets (both are appended). A special research assistance desk was also set up in the library. In spring 1985, an evaluation was done to determine the frequency of use and satisfaction of students who used the research desk, to determine the effectiveness of the library research skills guides and worksheets, and to identify problems and make suggestions. Data were collected from student questionnaires, faculty questionnaires, reference librarian questionnaires, a research process log sheet completed by students, and a course transactions sheet. From the data it was concluded that the research assistance desk was viewed favorably by both the students and faculty and the basic library research guides had clear instructions. Some problems were identified (e.g., too many students assigned to one topic), and several recommendations were made that have been implemented (e.g., have the special desk again). The student and faculty evaluation questionnaires are also appended. (Author/THC) |
