Generally, the faculty respondents gave
high ratings to the importance of the Online Catalog – again 88%
with responses of either a 4 or a 5. Results were fairly
consistent across the disciplines. Again, there seems to be more
of a ratings spread among faculty in the Humanities, Sciences,
and Social Sciences.
