"Seventy percent of students who responded to the survey said they had attended religious services in the past year, and 78 percent said they had discussed religion or spirituality with friends. Seventy-three percent said their religious and spiritual beliefs had helped develop their identity. "

As librarians do we need to consider the spiritual interests of our students when making collection development decisions?
