Notes
2023-2024: Views of the library searching videos increased while the number of library search quiz completions decreased. This year the number of searching videos increased from three to five, which likely accounts for the increase in views. The decrease in quizzes may still be an effect of deleting the general university orientation class requirement. It is unclear why the research poster video views decreased significantly. Traditional instruction sections decreased again this year.
2022-2023: Traditional library instruction decreased again as almost all general instruction is done via online tutorials and a corresponding quiz. Online instruction decreased as well because the university no longer requires all students to take a general university orientation class.
2021-2022: Traditional library instruction continues to be minimal now that the bulk of instruction is online. Archives instruction has increased.
2020-2021: Traditional instruction continued to decline as faculty use the online instruction videos. The instruction research activity is also now available on our website.
2019-2020: The bulk of instruction has moved online with fewer librarians available to do in-person instruction. An online instruction quiz was created in August 2019. The most popular traditional instruction activity was doing a research activity with a class, which was classified as Other in the covered topics.
2018-2019: The departments were more spread out and there were more library workshops, which resulted in more "other" departmental stats. FLS is no longer a part of our campus as of this year. Archives instruction increased this year despite an overall reduction in sessions and number of users receiving instruction.
2017-2018: Instruction increased in both sessions and users. The English, nursing, and orientation classes increased this year.
2016-2017: Instruction statistics decreased this year because the library is no longer offering
financial literacy instruction in-person for all first year orientation classes.
That instruction is now done online, and financial literacy instruction is done in-person
only for athletes, special programs, and upper-division classes.
