In order to study those attitudes, college and university library administrators in the Middle States Association Region were selected as a study population. A questionnaire survey was conducted, in which library administrators at 206 senior colleges and universities in the Middle States Association Accreditation Region were requested to rate each of twenty library evaluation criteria, each of seven library evaluation processes and each of six frequently suggested changes in those criteria and processes. Additionally, library administrators surveyed were requested to cite changes, if any, that they felt should be made in those criteria and processes. Analyses of data from the 94 library administrators who responded disclosed that there were no significant differences in their ratings of nineteen of the twenty library evaluation criteria, in their ratings of the seven library evaluation processes, nor in their ratings of the six frequently suggested changes in library evaluation criteria and processes about which they were surveyed. And, based on the quantity and types of changes in the criteria and processes that they recommended, the study revealed that they were not overwhelmingly dissatisfied with the current criteria and processes of the Middle States Association. |
