E-Book Survey

Cowles Library is partnering with several Iowa academic libraries to gather faculty and student feedback regarding their use of and attitudes toward academic e-books, and we’d like to hear from you!

  • The survey is anonymous and only takes about 5 minutes.
  • Responses will be accepted until December 8, 2017.
  • The results will help the library make better decisions about book and e-book purchases.
  • If you are a current Drake student, completing the survey makes you eligible to win one of six $25 prizes (that’s cash!).
