One-time Study
Again, the word “study” is used loosely. While improving research skills is one of our strategic aspirations, we have not,
to date, designed or implemented any formal study of impact.
But will likely be done again in the future.
Ongoing Study
Study repeated annually for 3 years.
These assessments are an integral part of the Library’s required course.
This first year writing study has been going on for some time and will continue, but the library has been involved for the
past year only.
We offer a library instruction for credit and this course is being assessed.
We plan to have the study conducted on an ongoing basis, but funding and staffing challenges could change those
plans.
