 * How are UHM Students using Technology in the Library: A Look At the UHM Library Technology Survey 2014 **

The purpose of this research project was to investigate the types of technology University of Hawaii undergraduate and graduate students were using in the library and for their academic research. Results show that students use many library provided technologies, but also bring there own devices and use their own technologies for research. While analysis is still in its early stages data collected will help the library administration understand how the library should adapt to the needs of students towards emerging digital and mobile technologies. It may also further understanding about what technology engages students, and how resources should be allotted to enhance the learning process.
