Self-Assessed Learning and User Satisfaction in Regional Campus Libraries.

Abstract Results of a multi-campus survey compare self-assessment of online skills and frequency of use to satisfaction with services. Students who rated skills as high also reported satisfaction with library services. Lower self-assessed skills are associated with lower satisfaction and non-use of services. Librarians may consider using self-assessed learning to improve services.
