The discontinuation of LibQUAL+ , the survey tool used worldwide by academic libraries previously, limited the available options and reinforced this choice to use the Library Life Pulse Survey. This decision was informed by the tool\u2019s focus on measuring impact and user experience, its flexibility in allowing non-core questions to be tailored to specific requirements, and its increasing adoption by academic libraries in South Africa and internationally, which enables benchmarking.<\/p>\n<p>This will be an opportunity to tell us what YOU love about\u00a0using Stellenbosch University\u2019s Library and Information Service and let us know how we could improve.\u00a0The survey, which is open to all students and staff, will help us to understand what is important to you and will inform the development of our services to support you as part of the University community. Alterline, an independent research agency, will administer the survey.<\/p>\n<p>All responses will be reported anonymously, meaning that your feedback will not be linked to you in any way<strong>. You will receive an invitation to complete the survey<\/strong>, which should fit perfectly into a quick tea break and then you can choose to be entered into a prize draw by entering your email address at the end of the survey. <strong>Ten lucky respondents will win a R1\u00a0000 voucher.<\/strong> The draw takes place at the end of September and Alterline will choose winners at random.<\/p>\n<p>Enquiries: <a href=\"bronwynb@sun.ac.za\">Bronwyn Bruton<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Library is running a survey from 12 August to 18 September, the Library Life Pulse Survey.
