Abstract
The Iowa State University implementation of the Ithaka S+R Faculty Survey was launched on April 6, 2015, and was closed to new responses on April 30, 2015, with a total of 487 complete responses. The questionnaire covers topics in several key areas, including: how faculty members discover materials for research; the value of mechanisms for gaining access to research literature; faculty members’ data preservation and management behaviors and needs; faculty members’ usage of scholarly communication services; the role of the library in supporting faculty members’ needs; faculty members’ perceptions of students’ research skills; and faculty members’ undergraduate and graduate instruction practices. This report provides a high-level overview of findings from the Iowa State University faculty survey.
