Reader Survey 2022

A little survey, a BIG result

Between 17 January – 19 February we are inviting all members of the University of Oxford and Bodleian Libraries cardholders to complete our short online reader survey. This enables us to assess user satisfaction and expectations of our libraries, collections and library services.

The survey seeks feedback on a number of areas including the provision of information resources, the libraries as a space for study, how staff interact with readers, information skills and support, and overall satisfaction with library support for research, teaching and learning.

We are using a standardised survey tool (LibQual+) for our Reader Surveys, although it has been customised to make it relevant for Oxford. LibQual+ has been used by over 1340 libraries worldwide and therefore enables us to benchmark our performance against comparative institutions. Find out more about LibQUAL+.

Survey is open from 17 January – 19 February 2022 – All completed entries can enter into a draw to win one of ten £50 Amazon or Blackwell’s vouchers!

In addition, the College with the highest response rate (% of students who complete the survey) will win a visit from a herd of Alpacas.

Responses are confidential.
