LibQUAL Lite is a shortened version of the survey questionnaire in which all users answer a few, selected survey questions (i.e., 3 core items), but the remaining survey questions are answered ONLY by a randomly-selected subsample of the users. Thus, data are collected on all questions, but each user answers fewer questions, shortening the required response time.
The SLU Libraries are using LibQUAL Lite because research has shown that its use leads to higher response rates.
