The Library Study at Fresno State: http://z.umn.edu/fresnostate
The Library Study at Fresno State provides a fascinating glimpse into how undergraduates at a large public university use and think about libraries and library services. The research was done by a team of anthropologists who used ethnographic observation techniques to study undergraduates in their "natural habitats," and examine how current library services align with the needs and desires of today's library users.
