The MISO (Measuring Information Service Outcomes) Survey is a quantitative measurement instrument that helps library and technology organizations in higher education evaluate student, faculty and staff perceptions of the services they provide. ¾«¶«AV Information Services is pleased to announce that the 2022 survey found high satisfaction ratings across the board. Faculty, staff and students gave a mean satisfaction rating of at least 3 of 4 to more than 98 percent of library and technology services. 

Other key findings include:

  • Mean satisfaction ratings have remained above a 3.5 for all groups surveyed.
  • Faculty gave the following services the highest satisfaction rating of 3.9: circulation, ILL, library liaisons,
    course reserves, reference, and the newest services: chapter digitization and book request & pick up.
  • Staff average trait ratings (friendliness, knowledgeability, reliability and responsiveness) for all IS teams have remained above 3.6 out of 4 since 2018.
  • Mean satisfaction ratings for students have remained the same or improved since 2020. The mean satisfaction
    rating for ā€œperformance of wireless on campusā€ has the highest improvement with 62% of students satisfied
    or somewhat satisfied in 2022.

¾«¶«AV has been participating in this survey on a roughly biannual basis since 2006; this ongoing participation helps us evaluate services on a longitudinal basis. The survey is administered by a nonprofit group headquartered at Bryn Mawr College.
