Surveying faculty and graduate students – IDEA and specific collections
Wednesday May 21, 2025 9:30am - 10:10am CDT
During the course of 2024, I created (with the assistance of Jessica Kleekamp/team and colleagues) a four-question Qualtrics survey for faculty and graduate students in Anthropology and P&BS. The survey sought feedback on the alignment of my subject collections with the Libraries' IDEA statement regarding collections. The session covers the creation of the survey, an explanation of Net Promoter Score based results, attendee review of the raw data (attendees are provided the data and then discuss their interpretations of the data), and suggestions on utilizing surveys to solicit exhibit partners.
