The American Geosciences Institute desires to understand how the geoscience-centric libraries are used, who composes the broader user community and the community’s awareness of their services. AGI constructed a survey to investigate the awareness of geoscience-centric libraries and their services within the community, and evaluate that awareness relative to engagement of other major information and data sources. One critical question for this study is whether there is a substantial portion of the geoscience community using the library services and assets without being aware of their provenance.
