Library customer satisfaction levels

Library Customer Satisfaction Survey

Annually we measure students' satisfaction levels on the service they receive.

A percentage score is given based on the percentage of students who answered 'very satisified' or 'satisfied' (on a scale from 'very satisified' to 'very dissatisfied'). The results are as follows:

2017/2018

  2018/2019

 2019/2020

 2020/2021

 2021/2022

NSS satisfaction levels

The National Student Survey

The National Student Survey (NSS) is a national survey, which gathers opinions from mostly final year undergraduates on the quality of their experience at the university they attended.

We present here the results that relate to the library through responses to the question "the library resources (e.g. books, online services and learning spaces) have supported my learning well".

During the past three years student satisfaction levels with the library have increased.

*"Along with the rest of the University library sector satisfaction levels decreased as a result of the COVID 19 pandemic. Solent Library is identified by the Office for Students as not significantly different to the national benchmark"
