ILS student satisfaction survey
A full set of results will shortly be available on the web, in the meantime the chart below shows the increase in the numbers of students who fell into the 2 highest categories of satisfaction in the ILS Student Satisfaction Survey. The results show a year on year improvement in services. Once again we’d like to say an enormous ‘thank you’ to the record number of over 2000 students who completed the survey.
Where there are blanks the question was rolled up into the one above in 2012.

‘Key Text’ in store @ Waterstones
In association with Waterstones University Bookstore many key text books recommended by tutors are now available at the University branch of Waterstones for students who wish to purchase their own copy to keep.
Whenever possible here in ILS we make important or heavily used material available as e-books and online journals to maximise the number of students who can use them at any given time. We’re now digitising heavily used book chapters which we deliver to you in Blackboard in partnership with your module leaders. We’ve also invested heavily in our print collection too, so make sure to use all the quality resources available to you online through Summon, the Library Catalogue and Blackboard.
These are just a few of the measures undertaken as part of our reading strategies initiative to maximise student access to key reading. If you would like to know more about the reading strategies initiative, please visit our webpage http://www.worc.ac.uk/ils/1270.htm, or contact your Academic Liaison Librarian.
