The survey, however, is a widely used tool that has great potential if designed well. Libraries can implement surveys for a variety of purposes, including planning, program evaluation, collection development, and space design. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaking Surveys Work for Your Library: Guidance, Instructions, and Examples\u003c\/i\u003e offers librarians a contemporary and practical approach to creating surveys that answer authentic questions about library users. Miller and Hinnant have experience designing, deploying, and analyzing quantitative and qualitative data from large-scale, web-based user surveys of library patrons as well as smaller survey instruments targeted to special populations. Here, they offer library professionals a guide to developing--and examples of--concise surveys that gather the data they need to make evidence-based decisions, define the scope of future research, and understand their patrons.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobin Miller\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor and assessment and instruction librarian at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKate Hinnant\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor and head of instruction and communication at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9.1 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 01, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52505670058291,"sku":"9781440861079","price":100.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/TVNBV3QxK0tlZzEyS2ZGMWNMZ0hEUT09.webp?v=1760227091","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/making-surveys-work-for-your-library-guidance-instructions-and-examples-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
