Libraries & Student Grades
• Library “check outs” appear to impact students
grades positively. (Huddersfield, Wollongong)
• Library “visits” do not appear to impact studentgrades. (Huddersfield)
• Library “instruction” may impact student grades, or at
least not make them worse. (Hong Kong Baptist)
• Library instruction after the first-year appears to impactGPA at graduation. (Wyoming)
• Library use (downloads, loans, reference) increases
GPA and retention. Library instruction may decreaseGPA, but increase retention. (Minnesota)
• Library instruction correlated with increased GPA .(Middle Tennessee State)
• And more to come!

Libraries & Faculty Productivity
Faculty funding and number of publications increase as
interlibrary loan borrowing increases (Duy and Lariviere2014).
Scholarly productivity increases as libraries invest more inelectronic materials, while that productivity decreases as
more of a library’s budget is dedicated to print materials(Rawls 2013).
“Faculty and students at Syracuse University weresurveyed...to measure their willingness-to-pay in time and
money for the services of the academic library. Theirtravel time and use of the online library was measured todetermine the environmental value of the academiclibrary. The…value of the...library show[s] an ROI of $4.49returned to the university for every $1.00 spent eachyear” (Kingma and McClure 2015).
