Survey of Academic Library Leadership:  Assessment of the Library Website — report cover

This report presents data from 80 academic library directors, deans and other leading executives about how they assess and what their plans are for the academic library website.  The report helps its readers to answer question such as:  when was the last time the library overhauled its website?  When does it plan its next major overhaul?  What aspects of the library website is management most satisfied with? The least satisfied with? How does the library and/or its parent institution govern who can made content and other additions or changes to the library website? How does the library evaluate how satisfied at its library patrons with the library website?  What consultants or other external help has the library used in developing or managing its website?

  • 60% of respondents from research universities and 64.86% of those from MA or PHD granting schools reported being satisfied or quite satisfied with their library website.
  • Respondents reported an average of 31.61 months (minimum 2 months, maximum 120 months) as the last time their library website had a major overhaul. Average time since library website overhaul varied significantly by college type.
