CUSTOMERS RATE THE LIBRARY
|
|
The Library has received an excellent score card from customers in the bi-annual Customer Satisfaction Survey conducted in June. The highest category rating was once again for Library Staff at 87% which demonstrates the commitment to the Bond ethos of personalised face to face service. Customers also ranked the Library very highly in terms of quality and overall satisfaction with services and it was particularly pleasing to see an improvement in the score for facilities and equipment. | |

BOND RESEARCH GOES GLOBAL
|
Bond
University’s institutional repository e-publications@bond was officially launched on Tuesday 21st November by the Vice Chancellor, Professor Robert Stable. The launch was well attended with visitors from local universities, several local high schools and academic staff and higher degree students from across campus. | |
|
AROUND THE TABLE
|
|
One of the fun ways the Library seeks students’ opinions and solicits their feedback is through ‘Round Table’ meetings. In July members of the Student Council were invited for a Round Table Lunch and a free flowing discussion. Conversation ranged across a number of topics including library website navigation and ScienceDirect database access. | |
|
LIBRARY JOINS IN FOR OPEN DAY
|
In August this year Bond held an open day for the first time in many years. The open day was hugely successful and the Library was pleased to play a part by offering self guided tours and meeting and greeting many of the campus visitors. | |
|
HOMER RESCUED!

It was a joyous week 7 for the Law Library team this semester. It was hard to imagine that only a few weeks ago we had lost a valuable member of the Law Library team to kidnappers. | |

NEW COMPUTER PODS

|
Students returning at the start of Semester 3 will have noticed a few changes on Level 2 of the Main Library. A large number of computers were relocated to the two libraries during the break and most of these found their way to Level 2 of the Main Library | |
