“…Librarians have used various methods to assess research consultations including surveys (e.g., Butler & Byrd, 2016;Drew & Vaz, 2008), usage statistics (Fournier & Sikora, 2015), citation analysis (e.g., Hanlan & Riley, 2015;Reinsfelder, 2012), pre and post testing (e.g., Sikora, Fournier, & Rebner, 2019), focus groups (e.g., Watts & Mahfood, 2015), interviews (e.g., Rogers & Carrier, 2017), mystery shoppers (e.g., Newton & Feinberg, 2020), and examining students' course grades (e.g., Cox, Gruber, & Neuhaus, 2019;Newton & Feinberg, 2020).
