The survey, however, is a widely used tool that has great potential if designed well. Libraries can implement surveys for a variety of purposes, including planning, program evaluation, collection development, and space design. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaking Surveys Work for Your Library: Guidance, Instructions, and Examples\u003c\/i\u003e offers librarians a contemporary and practical approach to creating surveys that answer authentic questions about library users. Miller and Hinnant have experience designing, deploying, and analyzing quantitative and qualitative data from large-scale, web-based user surveys of library patrons as well as smaller survey instruments targeted to special populations. Here, they offer library professionals a guide to developing--and examples of--concise surveys that gather the data they need to make evidence-based decisions, define the scope of future research, and understand their patrons.","brand":"Libraries Unlimited","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45085052010647,"sku":"9781440861079","price":5077.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781440861079.webp?v=1767098817","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/making-surveys-work-for-your-library-guidance-instructions-and-examples-9781440861079","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
