W. K. Kellogg Health Sciences Library Space Assessment - 2017

Abstract

The W. K. Kellogg Health Sciences Library consists of two distinct recently renovated/created academic library spaces: the Kellogg Library in the Tupper Building, which opened after a complete renovation in January 2017, and the Kellogg Library Learning Commons (Kellogg LC), which opened in the new Collaborative Health Education Building (CHEB) in January 2016. The Kellogg Library (Tupper) provides a quiet study room with computer workstations, reserve readings, the print collection (monograph and journal) in compact shelving, and most of the staff spaces. The Kellogg Library LC in CHEB is the larger of the two spaces and provides a wide range of types of study and work spaces. Both spaces serve students from the faculties of Dentistry, Health Professions, and Medicine. Students from all campuses are welcome to make use of the space, and many do. This assessment seeks to determine the perceptions and satisfaction of students with the new spaces as they use them on a regular basis. The responses will inform adjustments and changes to the spaces in the coming year.
