Hi Liz,

 

You may want to have a look at the Library Impact Data Project, part of the JISC Activity Data Programme - http://library.hud.ac.uk/blogs/projects/lidp/

 

“The aim of this project is to prove a statistically significant correlation between library usage and student attainment. By identifying subject areas or courses which exhibit low usage of library resources, service improvements can be targeted. Those subject areas or courses which exhibit high usage of library resources can be used as models of good practice.”

 

I’m not sure if it’ll fit exactly with what you may be looking at, but could be worth a browse!

 

Cheers,

 

Tom.

Hi,

This is a bit of a long shot but….. a while ago I remember reading an article  the conclusion of which was that students who used the library tended to get better academic results. (Not exactly surprising I know!). I think someone may have even posted about it on here. I can’t remember anything about the article except that it would now be very useful! If anyone has any knowledge of this article or any other which comes to the same conclusion I’d be grateful if you could forward the details.

 

Many thanks and have a great weekend.
