Ending one year leads to planning for the next! Now is a great time to schedule library instruction before the calendar fills up. Librarians collaborate with faculty to tailor sessions to students’ research needs. Classes typically meet in the Clark Library’s classroom on the upper floor. To request instruction, please email preferred dates and times, along with course number, to Stephanie Michel, Clark Library, at michel@up.edu.

Clark Library 2016 Satisfaction Survey Results
Clark Library staff would like to thank the 128 faculty and 18 staff who responded to the library’s satisfaction survey in spring 2016. The findings revealed that satisfaction with library services is high among both groups. Staff value print books more than databases, and they use library services to find information in related fields or new areas. Faculty value databases more than print books, and they report that library services help them to use their time efficiently. Complete results and a comparison with the 2011 survey are now available.
