In addition to some demographic information, the questionnaire gathered information about leisure reading habits, tendencies, and the participants’ preferences for a potential future leisure reading collection at UBC Library.\n\nResults – There were 467 valid responses out of 473 total responses received from UBC undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, staff, and community members. Of the valid responses, 244 were received from the 1,500 random sample invitations (a 16.3% response rate). Additionally, the questionnaire was advertised for open participation for those not invited, resulting in the remaining 229 responses. Results of this study indicated overwhelming support for a leisure reading collection at UBC Library, with 94% of respondents stating they might or would use a leisure reading collection. This study also revealed strong leisure reading habits among all response groups. However, only 6% of respondents currently acquire most of their leisure reading materials from UBC Library. Additional analysis found that UBC Library already owns 81% of the titles and authors requested by respondents in the survey.\n\nConclusions – Based on the findings, the strong support for a leisure reading collection, and the fact that many UBC campus residents are not eligible for a free municipal public library card and borrowing privileges, there is a genuine need for a leisure reading collection at UBC Library. The data indicates that if accessible and convenient, a leisure reading collection could provide an opportunity for those who do not already read for leisure to do so. Additionally, a UBC Library leisure reading collection could attract community members, including those who are not UBC Library cardholders. In response to the results of the study, a pilot leisure reading collection was created in September 2011. This will make leisure reading materials easier to access and will allow the Library to further analyze the potential of such a collection, ultimately determining its future.", "tags": [ { "tag": "academic librarianship", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "leisure reading", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "questionnaire", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-11-27T16:46:12Z", "dateModified": "2012-11-27T16:46:12Z" } }, { "key": "3S4UWFHI", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 81521, "name": "College Students and Reading for Pleasure", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/college_students_and_reading_for_pleasure", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/81521/items/3S4UWFHI", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/college_students_and_reading_for_pleasure/items/3S4UWFHI", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 399830, "username": "bfister", "name": "Barbara Fister", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/bfister", "type": "text/html" } } }, "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "3S4UWFHI", "version": 1, "itemType": "webpage", "title": "Part 1: Younger Americans’ changing reading habits", "creators": [], "abstractNote": "", "websiteTitle": "Pew Internet Libraries", "websiteType": "", "date": "", "publisher": "", "place": "", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://libraries.pewinternet.org/2012/10/23/part-1-younger-americans-changing-reading-habits/", "accessDate": "2012-10-23T17:09:24Z", "shortTitle": "Part 1", "language": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-11-24T15:08:00Z", "dateModified": "2012-11-24T15:08:00Z" } }, { "key": "3AD5UKTG", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 81521, "name": "College Students and Reading for Pleasure", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/college_students_and_reading_for_pleasure", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/81521/items/3AD5UKTG", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/college_students_and_reading_for_pleasure/items/3AD5UKTG", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 399830, "username": "bfister", "name": "Barbara Fister", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/bfister", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Gladwin and Goulding", "parsedDate": "2012", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "3AD5UKTG", "version": 1, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Recreational Reading in University Libraries in The United Kingdom", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Rachel", "lastName": "Gladwin" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Anne", "lastName": "Goulding" } ], "abstractNote": "This article presents selected results from a study investigating the promotion of recreational reading in university libraries in the United Kingdom.

We argue that literary narratives have a more important purpose. They offer models or simulations of the social world via abstraction, simplification, and compression. Narrative fiction also creates a deep and immersive simulative experience of social interactions for readers. This simulation facilitates the communication and understanding of social information and makes it more compelling, achieving a form of learning through experience. Engaging in the simulative experiences of fiction literature can facilitate the understanding of others who are different from ourselves and can augment our capacity for empathy and social inference.", "publicationTitle": "Perspectives on Psychological Science", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "2008-05-01", "volume": "3", "issue": "3", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "173-192", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "Perspectives on Psychological Science", "DOI": "10.1111/j.1745-6924.2008.00073.x", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://pps.sagepub.com/content/3/3/173", "accessDate": "2012-06-23T00:33:33Z", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "1745-6916, 1745-6924", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "en", "libraryCatalog": "pps.sagepub.com", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-06-23T00:33:33Z", "dateModified": "2012-06-23T00:33:33Z" } }, { "key": "TZXFHM6F", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 81521, "name": "College Students and Reading for Pleasure", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/college_students_and_reading_for_pleasure", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/81521/items/TZXFHM6F", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/college_students_and_reading_for_pleasure/items/TZXFHM6F", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/81521/items/TMRTBAAG", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 399830, "username": "bfister", "name": "Barbara Fister", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/bfister", "type": "text/html" } } } }, "data": { "key": "TZXFHM6F", "version": 1, "parentItem": "TMRTBAAG", "itemType": "attachment", "linkMode": "linked_url", "title": "Full Text PDF", "accessDate": "2012-06-23T00:33:33Z", "url": "http://pps.sagepub.com/content/3/3/173.full.pdf", "note": "", "contentType": "application/pdf", "charset": "", "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-06-23T00:33:33Z", "dateModified": "2012-06-23T00:33:33Z" } }, { "key": "UXGPKUDA", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 81521, "name": "College Students and Reading for Pleasure", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/college_students_and_reading_for_pleasure", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/81521/items/UXGPKUDA", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/college_students_and_reading_for_pleasure/items/UXGPKUDA", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/81521/items/BEPVXDKW", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 399830, "username": "bfister", "name": "Barbara Fister", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/bfister", "type": "text/html" } } } }, "data": { "key": "UXGPKUDA", "version": 1, "parentItem": "BEPVXDKW", "itemType": "attachment", "linkMode": "linked_url", "title": "ScienceDirect Snapshot", "accessDate": "2012-06-23T00:33:05Z", "url": "http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0304422X9900011X", "note": "", "contentType": "text/html", "charset": "", "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-06-23T00:33:05Z", "dateModified": "2012-06-23T00:33:05Z" } }, { "key": "BEPVXDKW", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 81521, "name": "College Students and Reading for Pleasure", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/college_students_and_reading_for_pleasure", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/81521/items/BEPVXDKW", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/college_students_and_reading_for_pleasure/items/BEPVXDKW", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 399830, "username": "bfister", "name": "Barbara Fister", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/bfister", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Oatley", "parsedDate": "1999-08", "numChildren": 2 }, "data": { "key": "BEPVXDKW", "version": 1, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Meetings of minds: Dialogue, sympathy, and identification, in reading fiction", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Keith", "lastName": "Oatley" } ], "abstractNote": "Any one work of literature reaches only a very few minds among the whole human population, and yet when a real meeting occurs of reader with a book, or reader with an author (via a book), it can be profound.

Studies show, however, that a positive relationship exists between college students' academic achievement and the time they spend in recreational reading. Reading for pleasure improves reading comprehension, writing style, vocabulary, spelling, and grammatical development. Librarians at the Roesch Library, University of Dayton (OH), collaborated with colleagues in Residence Education on a yearlong pilot recreational reading program to address this cultural shift on a small scale. Porches, informal gathering places familiar to students, served as an appropriate theme for the program's goal of bringing people together to talk about books. This project found that with just a little bit of motivation and encouragement, students are willing to read for fun.", "publicationTitle": "College & Undergraduate Libraries", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "2007", "volume": "14", "issue": "2", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "1-24", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "10.1300/J106v14n02_01", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1300/J106v14n02_01", "accessDate": "2012-06-22T19:44:54Z", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "1069-1316", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "Taylor and Francis", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-06-22T19:44:54Z", "dateModified": "2012-06-22T19:44:54Z" } }, { "key": "3NQJBDDM", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 81521, "name": "College Students and Reading for Pleasure", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/college_students_and_reading_for_pleasure", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/81521/items/3NQJBDDM", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/college_students_and_reading_for_pleasure/items/3NQJBDDM", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 399830, "username": "bfister", "name": "Barbara Fister", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/bfister", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Augst and Carpenter", "parsedDate": "2007", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "3NQJBDDM", "version": 1, "itemType": "book", "title": "Institutions of reading : the social life of libraries in the United States", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Thomas", "lastName": "Augst" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Kenneth E", "lastName": "Carpenter" } ], "abstractNote": "", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "2007", "publisher": "University of Massachusetts Press", "place": "Amherst", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "", "ISBN": "9781558495906 1558495908 9781558495913 1558495916", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Institutions of reading", "language": "English", "libraryCatalog": "Open WorldCat", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2012-06-22T19:43:32Z", "dateModified": "2012-06-22T19:43:32Z" } } ]
