Abstract

Participation in the Spring 2001 LibQUAL+™ research and development project has helped the University Libraries at the University of Nebraska‐Lincoln (UNL) to better serve its main user groups. An in‐depth investigation of the UNL LibQUAL+™ survey results is currently underway. This investigation is ongoing and results will inform future planning efforts of the university libraries. Concurrently, the libraries have been able to make changes to services during the past year as a direct result of the LibQUAL+™ data. This paper will report on the libraries’ first efforts to address areas where perceptions of service differed from patron expectations, and will indicate plans for future efforts.
