In order to better understand faculty attitudes and practices regarding usage of library-specific tools and roles in a university
learning management system, log data for a period of three semesters was analyzed. Academic departments with highest rates
of usage were identified, and faculty users and non-users within those departments were surveyed regarding their perceptions
of and experience with the library tools. Librarians who use the tools were also surveyed to compare their perceptions of
faculty tool and role use. While faculty survey respondents showed high levels of positive perceptions of librarians, they
also exhibited low awareness of the library tools and little understanding of their use. Recommendations for encouraging wider
adoption and effective usage are discussed.
