UK Libraries’ survey aims to better service campus
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Oct. 11, 2022) — Have an idea on what is missing from your library experience at the University of Kentucky? Don’t miss your opportunity to speak up. Students who share their thoughts on UK’s library service can enter to win a USB mini-projector or noise-canceling headphones.
During Fall 2022, UK Libraries will be seeking campus feedback about library service quality by running a brief, locally developed survey, starting this week through Nov. 18. The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. The survey may be accessed here.
Data and comments collected in this survey will help UK Libraries understand faculty and students’ satisfaction with, as well as perceptions of, a variety of library services, including their impact on academic and research success. By participating in this survey, you will directly impact library services and spaces, including access to information (print and electronic resources), customer service, facilities, equipment and collections. All responses are collected anonymously.
Previous library satisfaction survey results have led to improvements in UK Libraries’ website, ease-of-access to electronic resources as well as the creation of the Thomas D. Clark Graduate Study.
