Have Your Say

University Library Client Survey - September 2013

The Library thanks the 1115 people who took the time to respond to the survey. 

The survey is a key way that helps us to identify what services and resources are most important to you and what you would like to see us improve. 

Our overall score in the survey was 79.4%, which exceed our 2011 result and matched the median score from the 38 university who used the survey.
