    Primary Research Group Inc., has published the Survey of American College Students 2022, Satisfaction with Academic Library Orientation Efforts, ISBN 979-8-88517-069-7
    This study looks closely at which students have received a library orientation session and how satisfied they were with this session. It also presents a separate, highly detailed data set on students who feel that they need a "refresher" library orientation.
    Just a few of this 57-page report's many findings are that:
    • In general, and with some exception, the smaller the school the greater the likelihood that a student had taken a library orientation session
    • Only a shade more than 29% of students majoring in performing arts have attended a library orientation session.
    • Transgender students and students of indigenous origins were particularly dissatisfied with library orientation sessions.
    • More than 27% or students of Hispanic origin felt that they needed a library refresher orientation, the highest percentage among the various racial and ethnic groups
    Data from a representative survey of 1,765 full time college students at 4-year colleges is broken out by more than 20 institutional and personal variables including but not limited to: income of family of origin, race/ethnicity, religion, gender, regional origins, current employment status, sexual orientation, major field of study, age, year of school standing, type of college, size of college, tuition level of college, and many other variables.
