USER SATISFACTION SURVEY
The User Satisfaction Survey run during the week of July 7th was
not entirely satisfactory because of the design of the survey.
However, it yielded the following results. The total number of
patrons surveyed was 197, with the largest group being graduate
students in Arts & Sciences and Library Science. The overwhelming
majority of all classes of users used MIK regularly, but only
approximately half used branch libraries regularly. Education and
Art were the branch libraries most frequently mentioned. The reason
for coming to the library usually elicited more than one answer,
with class assignment and independent research being the prime
reasons; however leisure reading accounted for over half the college
seniors' reason for coming. Less than one—third of the users
surveyed had received instruction in the use of the library. The
departments which the users patronized most were Circulation, Refer-
» ence, Reserve, and Newspaper/Microtext, all of which were used about
equally. The majority of those surveyed did not specify what
question or information they wanted, but most of those who did
answer wanted to know the location of items or library procedures.
The users were satisfied with the answers they received in a large
majority of the cases; only l2 were dissatisfied. The reasons for
dissatisfaction were due largely to insufficient information. The
users were also satisfied with the help (in addition to being
satisfied with the answers) they received. Time spent working with
the patron fell nearly completely into the "under 10 minute" category,
with over one—quarter saying the time spent was negligible.
The User Satisfaction Survey Committee is convinced that the library
needs some measure of user satisfaction, and that it should not
be done superficially. In tabulating results of the initial survey,
the committee found several indications that the questionnaire and

 -2- O —n   n
method of sampling should be studied much more thoroughly. There-
fore, the committee has recommended that the surveys planned for
this year be postponed, and that a person or com ittee be appointed-
to study the matter more carefully before developing such a measure.
