Does the library service match student’s expectations/needs? Open ended question • We received a variety of answers. The students who answered yes did not go into detail, however the ones who answered no included detailed answers. Many requested more online databases and more books from different fields and many complained on how much time is needed to find what they are looking for.
Main Conclusion • Our main finding was that many students believed that the AUP library had useful information and resources, however finding the information with the libraries website design and organization of links takes them more time and effort. We concluded this result because 46% of students think the design of the website is bad but 51 % believe the website has reliable information.
