Are you a faculty member who wants to share your input on library services and collections? The University Library is holding focus groups for faculty on Tuesday October 15 from 9:30-10:30 AM and 2:30-3:30 PM on Zoom. The focus groups will inform the library's strategic planning process and ensure that faculty needs and perspectives are represented.

Please sign up for one of the focus groups. We will confirm your participation by emailing you with Zoom details.

Team members from DeEtta Jones & Associates (the consulting group the library is partnering with, see more information below) will facilitate the focus groups. No preparation is needed and all feedback will be anonymous. Please contact Librarian Sarah Hare (sehare@ucsc.edu) with any questions.
