iPad Mini at reference desk.
Students used it to take assessment @Survey Monkey.
Connected to wi-fi network. Only three librarians were participating. Each librarian determined if administering the
survey was appropriate for a given student.
Administration
38 students took the assessment in November
2014 and March-May 2015. Using one week did not provide enough
students, so we extended our collection times. Students were accommodating and
enthusiastic.
