Fall 2010 Survey

946 Students Took the Library Services Survey

SLAC (the Student Library Advisory Council) surveyed a 25% random sample of all Cal Poly students during fall quarter 2010. A total of 946 students responded — more than 20% of the students surveyed. Their answers and comments are being used by SLAC and the Library to prioritize and plan improvements both now and in the future.
