Sonya S. Gaither

Information literacy is defined as a "set of skills needed to find, retrieve, analyze, and use information" (ACRL, 2011).

Faculty Perceptions Of The Value Of Academic Libraries: A Mixed Method Study, Kelly Heider, Sandra Janicki, Joann Janosko, Blaine Knupp, Carl Rahkonen

Kelly Heider

This article details the findings of a year-long study at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) Libraries which examined IUP faculty members’ perceptions of the value of library resources and services to both their research and teaching. Through a mixed-method study, which included an online survey and follow-up focus groups, the researchers found that faculty were dissatisfied with IUP Libraries’ marketing initiatives but satisfied with its small embedded librarian program. As a result, marketing and growth of the embedded librarian program became the two main focus areas for improvement in the next academic year.

This poster considers how well do special …
