Breakout: Another Survey?!: Making Your Next Survey Count

Breakout: Another Survey?!: Making Your Next Survey Count

Surveys are a fundamental tool in a library’s research and evaluation toolbox, yet many library surveys fall short of their potential for gathering useful, trustworthy information. In this session, we will explore the purpose of survey research; its strengths and limitations for library needs; and best practices in survey development, design, and testing. Participants will leave with practical strategies they can apply to maximize the value of their next library survey. This session is designed for participants who do not have previous training in survey design or those looking for a refresher to maximize the quality of their next survey.
