An electronic survey was distributed to the entire graduate student population that is served by the science libraries. Results reveal the unmet needs of the students, the amount of interdisciplinary work and multi-library use by students, and the instructional services requested by the respondents. Recommendations for improvements and additions to existing library resources and services are given, as well as suggestions for future research on this topic
