How the library can communicate
services to students
• Library website
• Learning management system
• Social media (including Facebook)
• Email
• Touch screens inside the library
• Posters on bulletin boards near the entrance to the
library
Los Angeles | London | New Delhi | Singapore | Washington DC | Boston
In their own words
• Send an email to my school/personal email address or pin it to the
bulletin
• Giving out only information for relevant services so that I would not
disregard all mails from the library thinking they are all just general
mails.
• Face to face initially would be nice.
• I would rather they list it out on the website. I prefer words over videos.
• Facebook page, website- short, snappy posts with links to more
information if required.
• Don't tell me, especially don’t send me emails. If I want, I search myself.
If the library wants to inform students, just tell the lecturers to advertise
it.
• Send emails regarding open houses with FREE ITEMS

What they want from libraries
• Neither thinks much about the library
• But could use the help
• Make it seamless and easy
• And discoverable

Faculty – student differences?
• Fewer than you might think

Editor's Notes

  • #4 42% of the respondents coming from North America, 33% from Asia Pacific, 19% from Europe, and less than 1% from South America. that 49% were undergraduate students and 33% were graduate or postgraduate students
  • #6 They want to represent a multifaceted world with global perspectives They spend countless hours looking for a specific example, like finding a needle not in a haystack, but in a virtual web They want something that grabs attention, but that can be tricky when they also want to make a point They know many students are using a mobile device, but they also want to show videos on large screens in their classes. They don’t want to lose the written text They often have a favorite video that was once current, but maybe no longer is, and they can’t find a good substitute They feel like they are balancing a lot of external needs and expectations, as well as their own
