Outline
• LibQUAL+ and culture• LibQUAL+ at Cranfield• LibQUAL+ at York
![Page 3: Perspectives from two UK institutions](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062806/56814e5c550346895dbbf855/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Key issues for engagement & action
• Basic assumptions– Don’t ask questions you don’t want to know the answer to
– Don’t waste time seeking data on things you aren’t going to fix
• Minimum cultural requirements – Willingness to listen– Ability to understand the data– Permission to act– Structure for action– Methodology for action

Actions: Electronic Developments
Information skills training• Information Literacy outcomes received the lowest
score in the 2003 surveyAction:• New Information Literacy project to provide software
based tutorial to help students with IL, specifically to aid our distance learners
Access to electronic resources• Our Web site and providing electronic access to
resources were seen as major opportunities for improvement
Action:• Developing a new library Web site, replacing 6
static html pages with a portal.

Comments on Information Control
• “The libcat website is difficult to find usable information. Frequently it returns results that are blatantly incorrect, and others that don't match the title I'm searching for.” (Computer Science)
• “Access to online journals is difficult, needing to go through Athens and various portals to gain access, and not all journal resources are available. Making this available to off-campus users would be beneficial. (Considering my course length is 5 years, and I only have easy access to the library in my first year being on campus. While I've been off-campus for the majority of my course it makes using the library difficult. Most journals require access from the campus network, and this is problematic).” (Computer Science)
![Page 43: Perspectives from two UK institutions](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062806/56814e5c550346895dbbf855/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Comments on Library as Place
• “It’s often noisy and its an uninspiring location that doesn’t make me want to remain in the Library to study” (Medieval Studies)
• “There are areas of the library that are far too noisy. Often, it is only a few selfish students that cause the problem. Generally the RBL is reasonable. However there is a problem when groups of students work together on one table. I am aware that there are facilities for group study. However this seems to be ignored by students” (Law)
![Page 44: Perspectives from two UK institutions](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062806/56814e5c550346895dbbf855/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Overview – all users
• Areas of greatest weakness:– Printed library materials– Electronic information resources– Print and/or electronic journals– Library space that inspires study and learning– Quiet space– Haven for study, learning or research
• Areas of greatest strength:– Courteous staff– Readiness to respond to user enquiries.
• Undergraduates are generally happier with the service than postgraduates and academics.
![Page 45: Perspectives from two UK institutions](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062806/56814e5c550346895dbbf855/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Action plan
• Information content provision– Information Needs capital: key texts, backfiles– DLPs, academic liaison & marketing of resources– Process review– Opening hours– Web site & virtual library
• Library as Place– Open zone & zoning– Longer term: refurbishment & CS building
• Service– Greater consistency– Culture development– Leadership and management training & development
![Page 46: Perspectives from two UK institutions](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062806/56814e5c550346895dbbf855/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
University of YorkLibQUAL+ 2008 to 2009 trends
