Key points

We were really happy to receive so many positive comments about how friendly and helpful the LRC staff have been.  We will continue to follow our aim of developing a helpful and supportive service for students.

64% of respondents rated the Computers as Good

We have shared your feedback with IT staff and we will continue to work with them to reduce and/or find solutions to the problems experienced.

65% of respondents rated the Books as Good

We will continue to liaise with curriculum staff to ensure key texts are available but we welcome your feedback too. So let us know if we have a gap - it might be that the librarian hasn't seen your reading list yet.

We will work with Facilities to ensure that we provide an environment that is comfortable and suitable for study and learning.


Look out for the posters in each LRC which address feedback specific to that site.
