Take the survey now.

In the last survey in 2014, 93% of users reported being satisfied with the Library, particularly with the attention and courteous help given to them by library staff. The Library also scored above Australian and world averages on all questions about the building.

Some of the changes the Library has made in response to previous survey results include:

• Extending loan periods, simplifying penalties for overdue items, and making it easier to collect hold requests
• Adding more seats, opening more presentation pods and improving signage for quiet and group study areas
• Introducing a computer booking system and refreshing the entire computer fleet
• Changing the location and functionality of key features in MultiSearch
• Activating an additional 12 databases for Alumni

Prize conditions: To enter the prize draw, leave your email address at the end of the survey. Winners are randomly selected and will be emailed in June 2016. The list of prize draw entries is kept confidential and is not linked to the survey  results.
