Library Survey 2009

Library Survey 2009
We’re still listening, and would like to hear more: Please complete the survey at http://survey.libqual.org/index.cfm?ID=396467

So far people are using the survey to raise a lot of issues and suggestions for the Medical Library and its services:

• working space – the temperature, the noise, the light
• Library staff – the extent to which you find us friendly, helpful, professional
• refurbishment and building works – the noise levels, and the resulting changes to the library
• group study areas – to allow for quiet conversation & discussions
• opening hours
• noise levels in the library
• accessibility of electronic resources when not in the library – differences between NHS access and University/Library access
• balance between electronic journals and paper journals
• document delivery service and charges
• range and age of book stock
• quality of computer and photocopy facilities
• availability of training and support for literature searching

The breakdown of respondents so far is:

• Student: 41%
• Medical: 18%
• Nursing and midwifery: 13%
• Allied Health: 10%
• Scientific and technical staff: 8%
• Non-clinical staff: 5%
