LibQUAL+® Lite in Hebrew By Dr. Lynne Porat University of Haifa Library LibQUAL+® Exchange, 8th Northumbria International Conference on Performance Measurement 17 th August 2009, Florence

Translation of LibQUAL+® to Hebrew  Translation of the questionnaire from British English to Hebrew was completed at the end of 2008 and the survey was run in May 2009  22 core questions and all 113 optional questions and survey instructions were translated to Hebrew  As Hebrew is a right to left language, there were problems displaying text and with Lickert scales

Translation to Hebrew cont.  Cultural and linguistic differences made it very difficult to translate certain statements such as: library staff reflects and promotes the Jesuit ideals of social justice and respect for all persons a haven for study, learning or research library staff who instill confidence in users

Lite vs. Long  50% of participants received the Lite version of the survey which consists of 8 core questions representing the three dimensions of service: AS (affect of service), IC (information control), LP (library as place) and 1 optional question that is chosen randomly by the system  50% of participants received the Long version which consists of 22 core questions and 5 optional questions

Data  Language of surveys: Hebrew = 1658 English = 250  Response rate: Lite = 57% Long = 43%  Survey completion times: Lite= 20 minutes Long= 24 minutes

Marketing and Incentives  Roving laptops - student employees with four laptops and print copies of questionnaire approached students around campus  40 coffee vouchers and 100 vouchers for university bookstore - instead of one big prize (LibQUAL+® provides e- mails of up to 50 prize-winners only)

Analysis of results  Norms: show that our perceived level of service is in the 64 th percentile, placing us in the top 36% of all participating libraries  Zone of tolerance: AS - very good, IC and LP need improving  Benchmarking: problematic as no other Israeli university has done LibQUAL+® and it is difficult to find foreign institutions that are similar in size, discipline, population type (bi-lingual) and number of responses received  Longitudinal analysis: will be possible after next survey session

Responses from colleagues  Negative responses: from some faculty members and some colleagues - who were surprised that despite budgetary restrictions, the University of Haifa is able to invest the time, money and resources on LibQUAL+® instead of on services and collections!  Positive responses: from library managers - who viewed LibQUAL+® as a valuable management tool and asked us to give them assistance and advice

Ensuing actions following analysis of results  Stakeholders: were shown the results in an attempt to gain increased financial assistance - the decline in satisfaction with the collection - compared to previous satisfaction surveys - was probably due to the recent cancellation of electronic journals and non-essential books  Users: were informed of the following improvements: impending implementation of “Primo” - a single discovery and delivery tool for all library resources - in September 2009

Ensuing actions following analysis of results cont. the opening of a new library wing in 2010 which should improve the IC and LP dimensions new group and individual study areas
