Why Investigate Library Impact?


• Because we can!
  – libraries are increasingly seeing the benefits
    of capturing & analysing library usage data
• Because we need to!
  – library budgets are being squeezed &
    usage data can demonstrate value

• Breadth of reading is important
• Relationship between accessing
  e-resources off-campus & better grades
• Owning the book may give students an
  advantage over students who have to
  borrow it

more findings on the project blog...

• Non-use of the library’s resources could
  be used as one of the early warning signs
  that a student might drop out of their
  course
• Usage of the library varies greatly by
  academic discipline
