From October 2010 to January 2011, EDINA conducted user satisfaction surveys for seven of our JISC-funded services; 806 people completed the surveys.
A broad range of disciplines were represented. The survey showed that our services are used by undergraduates, postgraduates and staff, including information professionals. A large majority of the respondents found our services easy to use, saved them time and would recommend them to others.
SUNCAT user:
“It saves time, having multiple sources to search through one interface. The interface is clear and succinct, and I like the way the libraries holding the item are visible from the brief records display.”
Mapping Services:
“I’m searching for the locations of historic brick pits and it would mean locating the old maps directly and manually digitising it onto GIS.”
“The rapid access to site information saves me days of work for my projects and weeks’ worth for my dissertations!”
“Students and staff come to me with mapping needs for a diverse range of locations. It would take more time to identify, procure and administer such mapping and data manually.”
