Historically, the library organization has used a number of techniques
to gauge user opinion and satisfaction, including focus groups, formal and informal
surveys, retreats, anecdotal information, and observation, to mention a few. From February 21-March 31, 2005, the UTA
Libraries conducted the LibQUAL+ survey aimed at measuring user satisfaction with
library services and facilities. 
Scholars
and research libraries are calling attention to the growing crisis
in scholarly communication, in which commercial publishers have turned the
scholarly communication process into “a multi-billion dollar business.”
Passionate and articulate about the importance of children’s’
literacy and the importance of libraries, award-winning author Pat Mora addressed a
standing room only crowd in UTA’s Carlisle Suite on April 21, 2005, at the conclusion
of the six-week “Arlington Reads” program.
Focus on Faculty is a speakers' series established to highlight
the research of outstanding members of the UTA faculty. Recent speakers were
award-winning UTA
Professors Gerlac, Campbell, Scotese and Poster.
