Student use of a reserve collection: a survey

Abstract

Following the automation of the reserve system, Kent Library at Southeast Missouri State University decided to ascertain student use of the reserve collection via a survey. Reports the findings of that survey, which asked questions such as how students know items are on reserve, how they request items, whether the reserve printout is useful, and what action is taken if the material is already charged out. Raw data are presented, along with comments about answers to several of the questions, a discussion about three correlations, conclusions that can be drawn from the survey, and recommendations.
