It is against this background that this research examines the influence of job satisfaction on turnover intentions of library personnel in some public Universities in South West Nigeria. …

Good, Bad, Or Biased? Using Best Practices To Improve The Quality Of Your Survey Questions, Eleta Exline

University Library Scholarship

Surveys can be an effective tool for gathering information from library users and assessing library services, yet the quality of the survey questions can make all the difference between a survey that is completed and one that is abandoned in indifference or frustration. The increased emphasis on user informed library assessment and the availability of free online survey tools combine to make the use of surveys very popular in libraries, but inexperienced survey writers are not typically aware of best practices in the social sciences for the format and syntax of survey question and response options. These widely used best …

They Not Only Can But They Should: Why Undergraduates Should Provide Basic Il Instruction, Brett B. Bodemer

Library Scholarship

Academic libraries have been slow to capitalize on the benefits of peer learning in basic information literacy instruction. This paper strongly advocates for the deployment of undergraduate session-leaders in basic instruction. Although the fundamental argument is based on the proven pedagogical advantages of peer learning, several important additional benefits are also outlined. As the few documented instances in which undergraduates have been so employed provide extremely limited evaluative data to support the premise that undergraduates can deliver solid instruction, this paper also attempts to begin filling that gap by sharing several sets of data. Generated throughout the implementation of peer-led …
