IT Surveys
User Survey Results 2001
2001 IT IUN User Survey Summary
prepared by
Center for Statistical and Mathematical Computing
METHODOLOGY
The IT User Survey is administered by the IU Center for Survey Research. Surveys were sent to 974 randomly selected people at Indiana University Northwest (184 faculty, 190 staff, 600 students). The questions on the survey are primarily Likert opinion scales (1-5 rating scales with 5 always being the most favorable rating). For questions asking opinions of services, the results shown include in order: the average opinion score (labeled "Average"), the percentage of people who were satisfied with the service (graded it as a 3 or better, labeled "Satisfaction"), the percentage of people who use the service (which we have taken to be the percentage of people who expressed an opinion about it, labeled "Usage"), and the total number of respondents to each question (unweighted number of respondents, labeled "Responses").
Unless indicated otherwise, the results shown are weighted to estimate the average response of the entire IUN community. Some services, however, are used only by certain subpopulations, so results are shown for the appropriate subpopulations. Subpopulations are indicated by F for Faculty, Staff for Staff, and S for Students. In some cases, the scores are for groups of subpopulations, indicated for example by [F&S] for services used by faculty and students. Results are shown separately for multiple subpopulations where appropriate. For the average opinion and the satisfaction percentage scores, confidence intervals are also provided. The confidence intervals indicate the sampling error for each estimate at the 95% confidence level (i.e. each mean and satisfaction score falls within the range indicated by the estimated value, plus or minus the interval score).

2002 IT IUN User Survey Summary
prepared by

METHODOLOGY
The IT User Survey is administered by the IU Center for Survey Research. Surveys were sent to 1000 randomly selected people at Indiana University North (200 faculty, 182 staff, 618 students). The questions on the survey are primarily Likert opinion scales (1-5 rating scales with 5 always being the most favorable rating). For questions asking opinions of services, the results shown include in order: the average opinion score (labeled "Average"), the percentage of people who were satisfied with the service (graded it as a 3 or better, labeled "Satisfaction"), and the percentage of people who use the service (which we have taken to be the percentage of people who expressed an opinion about it, labeled "Usage").
Unless indicated otherwise, the results shown are weighted to estimate the average response of the entire IUN community. Some services, however, are used only by certain subpopulations, so results are shown for the appropriate subpopulations. Subpopulations are indicated by F for faculty, Staff for staff, S for students.
