Enis, M. (2012). Making the Grade. Library Journal, 137(19),
44.
Summary: This Library Journal Survey of patrons at Academic Libraries asked how they use the library and for what purpose. Overall, they gave their academic libraries high praise while commenting that outreach was still key to continuing use after freshman year. Online line databases get wide use, as does the free WiFi. Many students still start with Google and Wikipedia (73%) instead of a visit to library resources.
Evaluation: This report is a few years old but still relevant to student attitudes about library use and shows the importance of surveys to understand where and when libraries are reaching patrons and when they are not.
