About the Survey: Ingram Library is conducting a survey of University faculty to elicit impressions regarding Library collections and services. Your response will help your Library colleagues learn more about how you use our facility and resources, and what we can do to provide better services.
Instructions: The survey requires about 15 minutes to complete. Most of the questions are answered by checking a response to indicate your choice. Some questions may call for several answers; for these, please check all the boxes that apply to you. If you find yourself unable to answer a question, simply skip it and go on to the next one.
Confidentiality: All responses are completely anonymous
