Results of the Morton Library survey

One more big thank you to everyone who returned a Morton Library survey! We do need the information you provided, and it should directly benefit you as well.

For example, 70% of you told us that having Saturday and Sunday open hours is important to you. This confirms for us that Spring term's experiment with new weekend hours should be continued through 2010. So we will extend the Saturday and Sunday hours now in effect through May, Summer and Fall terms, then look at the traffic numbers and reassess.

We also noted a lot of information gaps out there ... people told us frankly that there is a lot they don't know about the resources we have available here and how to use them. This blog was started two years ago, after our 2008 Morton Library survey, with the intention of communicating to everyone the information we gained from it and how we were implementing their suggestions, as well as clearing up some of the confusion and lack of knowledge besetting our community.

PLEASE get into the habit of checking this blog regularly. You need this information! You can easily add an RSS feed to alert you of new posts. We try to keep to a schedule of adding posts three times a week, and of course earlier ones are always available to view. We won't waste your time with philosophical musings ... this blog is meant to distribute useful information. Help us help you!
