Every few years, Penrose Library asks the campus community for feedback on what we do via a campus-wide survey. Understanding what Whitman’s library users need, what is working well for them and what is not, helps us to evaluate and improve our collections, spaces, services, and programs. We use the survey data you provide to guide planning and decision-making and to inform our accreditation reporting. 

Students, staff, faculty – please take our survey! We have tried to keep the survey as short as possible – it should not take more than 10 minutes. It is completely anonymous and results will be reported in the aggregate. If you wish, you can provide your Whitman email address to be entered in a drawing for a Lego set! We have 5 to give away. (The Office of Institutional Research is administering the survey; email addresses for the drawing will be processed separately from the survey data. Contact Cynthia Cohn, Assistant Director of Institutional Research, with any questions about survey administration.)

We know that this is an exceptionally busy and challenging semester. We hope that you can find a few minutes to think about what you value about Penrose Library, or how the Library can help you attain your educational goals or mission, and to share this with us. We appreciate your time.
