Affiliation Survey Statistics: October 2022
Hi all,
Thank you for your time and help in collecting data for the affiliation survey, we truly appreciate it! This survey is what helps us get funding to make the library as helpful as possible to you lovely patron. Onto the statistics!
Floors
The 7th floor is our most popular floor with more than twice the number of visitors that our other floors. This data is consistent with the traffic on each floor from October 2021 and March 2022.
Weekday and Time
Weekday
Monday and Tuesday are our busiest days of the week, which is different from previous surveys where Monday and Thursday were the most popular weekdays. In comparison to previous surveys, Sunday and Monday are more popular than in March 2022 and October 2021. Thursday is a much less popular day than from previous surveys. Some of the evening data for Thursday was lost, so this may also influence the low numbers.
Time of Day
Traffic by time of day has not significantly changed. 3 pm has remained the busiest time of day at the library since October 2021 followed by 11 am.
Affiliation
As with previous years, the dental program is the largest user of the library followed by the medical program. While MBS program usage grew in October 2021 and March 2022, it dropped by more than half this most recent survey. It is unclear why this happened!
In conclusion, the library has bounced back from early COVID-19 numbers! Thanks so much for your patronage. We are happy to be helping you in your academic journey.

-@growingwisdom to @BonjourParis_ and me on @GBHNews this morning (Dave is not a fan of Groundhog Day, in case you were wondering)GSBS faculty member @lindenhu_md and alum James Phelan have a new paper out in @MicrobioSoc. They talk about factors in the survival of Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme disease, in ticks and mice. @TuftsLyme https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/mic.0.001286

Something about the way skiers accelerate and stop, or jostle, seems to set Apple’s crash-detection technology on high alert. And skiers, helmeted and wrapped in clothing, often fail to detect the warning or the call from the 911 dispatcher. https://nyti.ms/3HoWSZ6
