Customer Service: Feedback

Feedback

We like to think of ourselves as a listening service - we are always interested in your feedback and will do our best to improve our services based on your views.  The feedback we gather from all the methods below feeds into our annual You Said We Did campaign.

Suggestion scheme

Tell us what you think about Library or IT services!

Your opinion matters.  We welcome and encourage you to let us know how we can improve your library and IT experience at Stirling. Please tell us what you think we are doing well and where you feel we need to improve. With your valuable input, we can continue to provide the best possible service for you.  
Submit any suggestions, comments, or compliments to us. Please drop a note in the library suggestion box located on level 2 near the main stairwell.  
If you have requested a personal response, we will contact you directly by email.  If you want to stay anonymous, that's not a problem, responses will be displayed on the boards for all to read.

Love letters to the Library

Every February in the lead up to Valentines Day, we run 'Love letters to the Library'. 

You can pick up paper slips to tell us what you love about the Library and the wider service.  You can also write us a break up letter if you are not feeling the love.  Pop your letters into the sealed box and we very much enjoy reading through them every year.  

Here are some of the recent comments we've received:

We had many responses about our staff;

  • Love the friendly librarians and the IT helpers
  • Caring staff
  • Staff always helpful and cheery
  • Kind and patient staff
  • Staff being there during hard moments.

We also had a lot of positive comments about the library and it’s services. Here are just a few of them;

“I adore your well-being space, it’s one of my favourite places on campus.”
“The library feels like a second home, I feel at peace here.”
“I can’t stop coming here. I love walking around the place and I enjoy the view.”
“I am so grateful for the opening and closing times.”
“I adore the library and all the staff”
“The Library was a lifesaver when my laptop broke, and I could only do work there. Stay awesome!”
“Thank you for the free articles – So cool.”
“Thanks for the computers, I love the speed and functionality.”
“Thanks for the great services and the great books.”

We only had 3 break-up letters, one about food rules in the library, and the others about the variable temperature in the Library.  We are hoping to reintroduce our pre-pandemic blanket scheme as a result of the temperature comment so we do try to act on our feedback.

How did we do?
Information Centre - enquiry exit surveys

Every so often we add a link to a very short survey to our responses to your enquiries.  In the survey we ask how satisfied you were with the response given (on a scale) and if you would like to leave any comments.  We aim to achieve a 95% satisfaction rate on satisfaction with enquiries.

 

Christmas wish tree

Another major feedback event for us is the annual Christmas Wish Tree in the Library.

Loved by staff and students alike, this is your opportunity to feedback on our services, staff, anything to do with our Library community.  Often messages are in the spirit of the season and quite uplifting in nature with students wishing each other luck in exams, wishing for their own success, sending kind messages to others.

Here are some reminders of the Christmas Wish Trees of Yore
