Complete our Library Survey for a chance to win great prizes!
October 10, 2012 - by Stan Bogdanov
Your opinion counts!
It certainly matters to all of us at Adelphi University Libraries.
As
we plan for the future of our Libraries, it is important that we
understand users' perceptions and expectations so that we can offer the
services you want and need.
On October 15th, you will receive an e-mail providing you with a link to a survey on the quality of Library services (LibQUAL+). By responding to this survey you will supply essential information to us for use in providing better services. The survey is a part of a North American initiative led by the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) to measure the quality of library services and identify best Library practices.
Participation in the survey is voluntary and confidential. Your response to the survey constitutes your consent for us to see your input for our research.
Student survey respondents interested in entering the random drawing will be eligible to win one of six prizes: 1 Nook Color, 1 iPod Nano, and 4 $50 Barnes and Noble Bookstore gift certificates offered by University Libraries. Your e-mail address will be kept confidential and will not be linked to your survey responses.
We greatly appreciate your help. When you receive the e-mail containing the survey link, on October 15th, please take the time (about 10 minutes), to complete the survey. Only you can tell us how we are meeting your Library needs. We thank you for taking this opportunity to help us to serve you better.

May 03, 2012 - by Stan BogdanovDoctoral students currently enrolled at AU have all rights and privileges to use library collections and to take advantage of the full range of services offered all students. After completing coursework, doctoral students are no longer considered matriculating students even if still working on a dissertation. As a result, library privileges will be reduced. In particular, remote access to online databases, e-books and e-journals will be removed. Inter-library loan privileges will also end.
Doctoral students can extend their full library privileges by registering for continuous matriculation with the Registrar’s Office. We advise students to register before the end of May to avoid expiration of privileges during the summer.
