A LEX BITTER Contributing Writer A newly released student survey ranked University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s Hamilton Library among the 20 lowestrated college libraries in the U.S. The survey, conducted by the Princeton Review, posed the question “How do you rate your school’s library facilities?” to 122,000 students from 377 college campuses across the nation.
According to information provided by the college-ranking company, respondents were able to choose an answer from a range of four to five descriptors, such as “Excellent” and “Awful.” From these responses, two lists – one of the 20 highestrated college libraries and one of the 20 lowest-rated – were derived.
MISSING PIECES The study was based solely on student opinion and did not take other
metrics, such as circulation of materials, number of volumes or specialty collections, into account. Interim university librarian Gregg Geary, who oversees Hamilton Library, argued that the Princeton Review’s survey lacks clarity and detail. He said that, although he would like to address the concerns of students, this particular survey provides no specific qualitative feedback on which to act.
