We are going through the results of the library student survey, and one thing is crystal clear.... we need new chairs!!  A big THANK YOU to everyone who particpated.  We had an excellent response, and are especially grateful to all the 1Ls who completed the survey, even though you had only been here a few weeks.

The survey covered questions related to library services and library facilities.  Overall, we seem to be doing well with our services, but the facility is lacking.  Aside from the chairs, the lighting, crowded study spaces, and temperature control seemed to be the biggest issues.  We will be doing all we can to address as many of these concerns as is possible.  The library is in the middle of a repurposing of our space, which began with the removal of 50,000 volumes to Loyola Hall.  New, more spacious carrels, some lounge seating, and new chairs are all part of the plan. 

As far as noise from fellow students or library staff, and aromatic meals being eaten in the library, please let us know.  If you do not want to get up from your study space, you can email us at lawref.scu.edu, we will do our best to address your concerns.

As part of the library’s self-study for the ABA inspection next year, we will be conducting additional surveys during the Spring semester and again next Fall.  I hope you will continue to response, so we have a clear picture of what we are doing well and what needs to be changed.

Thanks!!
