Enhancing Student-Centered Library Services: A Survey-based Approach to Software Selection at Austin Community College Libraries

Austin Community College serves over 70,000 students each year with over 100 programs of study and 11 campuses, each with their own library. ACC Libraries is attempting to improve their services by adding software programs to library computers. To aid in this effort, I created a survey for ACC students to gauge their interests in certain software. I then created a data visualization using Tableau to inform ACC Library staff about the most important findings of the survey. Through my project, I was able to include student insights into ACC Libraries’ decision-making process to make the Libraries more useful for students.
