3. Question One N.B. Numbers in parentheses denote how many respondents stated that they had used each particular method of promotion.

4. Question Two

7. Question Four If you could name one thing that has worked really well with your own library inductions, what would it be? “ Using games to add fun to library inductions!” “ Variety . Making sure you have a range of delivery methods available to tailor an induction to a group of students and to the person giving the induction. As long as you have consistency in content variety just aids getting the message across to a particular group.” “ Cephalonian method has transformed our inductions - engages students more than traditional tours and allows us to deliver induction to more students in a shorter space of time.” “ Improvements come from having a dedicated classroom , keeping it short and trying to involve the students in a small way - interactivity.” “ Hands on use of e.g. e-book collections.”

8. Question Four (cont) “ Differentiation by course / level / subject and by making included tasks subject specific wherever possible.” “ Smaller groups and making them more subject specific .” “ Qwizdom class quiz software increased audience participation ; greater participation increased retention and improved attention spans; greater interaction between staff presenting and students in the audience helped to build good relationships earlier in the academic year.” “ We keep the inductions short as it is a bit overwhelming to hear all the resources available all at once but encourage students to come back when they want something or need help with something.” “ The use of Moodle makes the whole induction flow better and hang together well.”
