How did we collect your insights?
We set up whiteboards at 榴莲视频app (September 2024) and Shoalhaven (July-August 2024) campus libraries asking鈥�What are we doing well? What could we be doing better?鈥痳egarding our facilities (building, furniture, access) and resources (books/ebooks, services). In addition, we included a third, more specific, question: What overnight hours would you like to access the Library?
We also set up an online Padlet and embedded it on the Library homepage for people to anonymously submit comments and vote on other users’ comments.
The whiteboards also featured a QR code with a link to the online Padlet. Open and anonymous, the whiteboard and Padlet allowed students to see each other’s responses, fostering engagement and a sense of connection.
