Academic Libraries Higher Education Library Instruction Library Personnel Library Services Library Surveys Online Searching Reference Services This report describes a 1986 survey of procedures and priorities at Indiana University and Purdue University regional campus libraries designed to aid the librarians at the Walter E. Helmke Library at Indiana University-Purdue University, Fort Wayne, in re-evaluating various library procedures. Responses were received from nine of the 11 libraries to which the brief survey questionnaire was mailed. Survey questions focused on: (1) reference services, including total hours of reference service per week, number of full-time reference librarians, and reference questions answered over a one-year period; (2) computer searches, including when searches are performed, number of librarians performing searches, types of terminals, search subsidy policies, cancellation of print indexes available online, and total number of searches performed during the past year; and (3) library instruction, including number of orientation and bibliographic instruction sessions held during the past year, grading procedures, and recordkeeping. Four miscellaneous questions addressed circulation, lost book replacement expenditures and ordering, and educational leaves for clerical staff. It is concluded that shared solutions to regional campus library problems may result in better service to the unique group of patrons the libraries are designed to serve. The survey questionnaire is appended. (KM) |
