Telephone surveys were conducted by LRC staff members with 142 of 360 randomly selected students in the study population. Study findings included the following: (1) 64.8% of the respondents had used the LRC during the preceding two terms, with the highest usage among Health majors; (2) the LRC was used most frequently as a place to study; (3) 44.6% of the respondents used reference materials, 38% used a photocopier, and 37% checked out books for class; (4) only 3.5% reported dissatisfaction with the materials available; and (5) 78% of the nonusers said the reason they did not use the LRC was that class assignments did not require it.
