I think the Libraries’ greatest strength
is:
• Electronic access - 39
• Physical collections - 29
• Library staff - 28
• Document delivery - 10
• Library facilities - 6
If I could change one thing:
•
•
•
•
•
•
More ejournals/databases – 39
Improve facilities – 12
Fix interface issues – 8
Bigger budget – 6
Better service – 6
More paper journals - 6
Looking forward, I will need the
following from the libraries:
•
•
•
•
E-access to journals/databases - 56
Books and notifications – 13
E-books – 7
Faster ILL – 6
