In Spring 2021, the library made the decision not to administer the annual Spring Library Survey due to the low number of responses received in 2020.
This year the library received (29 total responses) for our annual Spring Survey, which was administered from April 6 - 24th. Due to COVID-19, the UH system moved most courses to remote instruction, effective March 23rd. These events may have contributed to a lower-than-usual number of responses received.
