How can the ±«Óătv Libraries help you? We wonĂt know until you tell us.
From March 1 to March 23, the libraries are inviting students, faculty and staff to participate in a major survey. Data gathered from the LibQUAL + survey will help improve service, resources and facilities at ±«ÓătvĂs five library locations: the W.K. Kellogg Health Sciences Library, Killam Memorial Library, Pharmacy Library, Sexton Design & Technology Library and Sir James Dunn Law Library.
ĂWith the libraries, usersĂ expectations are constantly changing,â says Tina Usmiani, Communications Officer for ±«Óătv Libraries. ĂAnd we want to keep on top of what those expectations are.â
The LibQUAL + survey will be available online, linked from the librariesĂ website at . It poses 22 questions covering three different areas Ă Affect of Service, Library as Place, Information Control Ă and should take about 15 minutes to complete.
You could win a prize by completing the survey. Dinner for two at Chives Restaurant and gift certificates from the Halifax Shopping Centre are up for grabs.
±«Óătv Libraries last conducted a campus-wide survey in 2005. In response to feedback from the survey, the fourth and fifth floors of the Killam were designated as quiet study zones, a Learning Commons was added to the Sexton Library, more electronic journals were acquired and a virtual tour of the Killam Ă ĂKillam Questâ Ă was created.
