Congratulations

Recently the science librarians at the USF Tampa Library and the USF Shimberg Health Sciences Library asked for your participation in the Information Seeking Behavior of Science Researchers survey.  Designed by UNC-Chapel Hill, the results of this nationwide survey will provide us with details about the information needs of science researchers at USF. By completing the survey you registered your department for a chance to win one of three $450 travel stipends for graduate student travel.  The three departments with the highest percentage of participation in the survey will be awarded a stipend.   

The winners are:      1^st Biology                 – 34% participation

                           2^nd  Geography            – 22% participation

                           3^rd  Psychology            – 18% participation   

The library will notify these departments as soon as the funds become available.

Thank you very much for your participation in this survey. The USF Libraries are committed to improving library services to USF science researchers.
