3 THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND LIBRARY Survey October INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The University of Queensland Library is committed to continuous improvement and to be recognised as an organisation consistently exhibiting best practice goals and values. These goals and values can be illustrated through The Best Practice Model. This model identifies the drivers for the University of Queensland Library s continuous improvement programs. EMPLOYEE (measured by Employee Attitude Survey) * CUSTOMER & SUPPLIER (measured by Customer & Supplier surveys) VALUE & QUALITY COMPETITIVENESS & SUSTAINABILITY Figure 1 - The Best Practice Model *On completion of employee, customer and supplier surveys we can enhance your understanding of this relationship and its implications. Consistent with these values, the University of Queensland Library has conducted a survey of its customers so that their views, ideas, and suggestions can be fully considered as an integral part of its commitment to improvement. The results of the University of Queensland Library s customer survey are benchmarked against other organisations in our national/international database. Rodski Behavioural Research Group 1

4 THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND LIBRARY Survey October Objectives The primary objective of the customer survey is to the University of Queensland Library with a means to identify key customer concerns that may presently exist. More specifically, the objectives of the survey are likely to include: 1. To identify and manage the key prioritised issues affecting customers; 2. To provide the ability to measure and monitor the performance of the University of Queensland Library over time; 3. To allow customers the opportunity to communicate openly and honestly with the management group of the Library; and 4. To benchmark results against other organisations in our benchmark database so that strategies for improvement can be shared with other Best Practice Organisations.

5 THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND LIBRARY Survey October The Survey Process The survey questionnaire completed by customers forms the core of the customer research. It comprise the Attitude Benchmark technique that sought from customers of the University of Queensland Library their responses to key variables considered critical to its continuing success. The variables used in this survey are adopted by the other participating organisations in the customer database in order to facilitate comparative benchmarking. The customer surveys contained 43 variables in a bivariate format. That is, the survey required respondents to assess both the Importance and Performance of each of the Best Practice factors (on scales of 1 to 7), as they relate to the University of Queensland Library. Customers of the University of Queensland Library were given the opportunity to participate in the survey in August 1999 by completing the questionnaire anonymously, either as an online or paper-based survey. This anonymity ensures that the true concerns of the University of Queensland Library s customers are identified. Rodski Behavioural Research Group 3

7 THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND LIBRARY Survey October 1999 At the aggregate level, 1308 responses is a strong result and provides a high degree of confidence in the results obtained through the quantitative analysis. The response rate for some demographic categories is low and thus the results should be interpreted with caution. This is particularly the case were less than 10 responses were obtained, such as users of the Ipswitch Library and the Princess Alexandra Hospital Library. Rodski Behavioural Research Group 5

8 THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND LIBRARY Survey October CUSTOMER SURVEY RESULTS 2.1 What Customers Said Was Important In terms of the relative ranking of mean scores obtained through the bivariate quantitative analysis, the highest ranked importance factors for customers of the University of Queensland Library as a whole (ranked in descending priority order) are: The Ten Most Important Factors September 1999 Most Important Factor Mean [Q19] The library collection is adequate for my needs 6.56 [Q2] Information resources (books, electronic etc) are easily accessed 6.53 [Q29] Library catalogue provides clear and useful information 6.50 [Q21] Opening hours meet my needs 6.38 [Q35] Electronic equipment is in working order 6.36 [Q38] Photocopying facilities are adequate 6.33 [Q14] Library staff provide quality service 6.29 [Q37] Number of computer workstations is adequate 6.28 [Q15] Library staff provide accurate answers 6.26 [Q26] Books and journals are reshelved quickly 6.22 An observation of the Top 10 Importance Table is that the priorities of the University of Queensland Library s customers include issues about the library collection and catalogue, facilities, opening hours, reshelving, staff and level of service.

9 THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND LIBRARY Survey October How Customers Feel the University of Queensland Library is Performing When analysing the performance results, it is important to keep in mind that we are dealing with customers perceptions of how the University of Queensland Library is performing. In terms of the relative ranking of mean scores obtained through the bivariate quantitative analysis, the highest ranked performance factors for the University of Queensland Library as a whole (ranked in descending order) are: Top 10 Highest Performing Factors September 1999 Highest Performing Factors Mean [Q42] Library staff treat me fairly and without discrimination 6.02 [Q32] Library cleanliness is adequate 5.97 [Q39] Library staff display professionalism 5.86 [Q40] Library staff are friendly 5.79 [Q14] Library staff provide quality service* 5.71 [Q29] Library catalogue provides clear and useful information* 5.64 [Q15] Library staff provide accurate answers 5.63 [Q10] Requests for information are followed through 5.57 [Q28] Library staff respond clearly and accurately to enquiries 5.55 [Q5] Library staff provide clear and useful feedback to my queries 5.54 (NB: Factors marked * have been identified as Top Ten Importance issues) The Top 10 Performance list contains two factors from the Top 10 Importance list, namely, library staff provide quality service and library catalogues provides clear and useful information. In other words, not only are these factors among the most important issues to customers, they are also being performed well by the University of Queensland Library. Rodski Behavioural Research Group 7

10 THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND LIBRARY Survey October 1999 The lowest ranked performance factors for the University of Queensland Library are shown in the table below: The Ten Lowest Performing Factors September 1999 Lowest Performing Factors Mean [Q7] Aids are provided for users with disabilities 4.89 [Q34] Individual seating is adequate 4.87 [Q19] The library collection is adequate for my needs* 4.86 [Q33] Group study facilities are adequate 4.84 [Q22] Materials are processed rapidly for inclusion in the collection 4.79 [Q13] Library staff act on my suggestions and ideas 4.66 [Q38] Photocopying facilities are adequate* 4.38 [Q23] Prompt corrective action is taken regarding missing books and journals 4.15 [Q37] Number of computer workstations is adequate* 4.07 [Q36] facilities are adequate 3.98 (NB: Factors marked * have been identified as Top Ten Importance issues) The Lowest 10 Performance list contains three factors from the Top 10 Importance list. They are the library collection is adequate for my needs, photocopying facilities are adequate and number of computer workstations is adequate. These are areas where customers perceive that the University of Queensland Library is performing relatively poorly on issues that are also of importance to them. In other words, they represent areas of frustration to customers. A major focus of the list is facilities (e.g. group study, photocopying, , individual seating). An encouraging result is the fact that the list does not include the level or quality of service provided by staff. Rodski Behavioural Research Group 8

11 THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND LIBRARY Survey October Where Customers Feel the University of Queensland Library Can Improve In identifying factors for greatest improvement we analyse the perceptual gaps between the respective Importance and Performance scores for each factor. Gaps indicate areas of frustration or dissatisfaction for customers and also represent improvement opportunities. Based on our research with around 500 organisations perceptual gaps around 2.00 are considered significant, with people exhibiting high levels of frustration and anger when gaps greater than 3.00 are communicated. Analysis of these gaps provides the University of Queensland Library with the ability to prioritise strategies for improvement in terms of those key cultural and performance factors considered in need of most attention by customers. The factors highlighted with the largest gaps across the University of Queensland Library as a whole (ranked in descending order) are: September 1999 Largest Gaps Top Ten Factors for Improvement Mean Gap [Q37] Number of computer workstations is adequate* 2.21 [Q38] Photocopying facilities are adequate* 1.95 [Q23] Prompt corrective action is taken regarding missing books and journals 1.92 [Q19] The library collection is adequate for my needs* 1.70 [Q36] facilities are adequate 1.47 [Q2] Information resources (books, electronic etc) are easily accessed* 1.42 [Q21] Opening hours meet my needs* 1.35 [Q1] Access to electronic data bases is easily available 1.24 [Q26] Books and journals are reshelved quickly* 1.24 [Q22] Materials are processed rapidly for inclusion in the collection 1.21 (NB: Factors marked * have been identified as Top Ten Importance issues) The Top 10 Improvement list contains five factor from the Top 10 Importance list, namely, number of computer workstations is adequate, photocopying facilities are adequate, the library collection is adequate for my needs, information resources (books, electronic etc) are easily accessed, opening hours meet my needs, and books and journals are reshelved quickly. In other words, these are areas of some concern to customers and are also of high priority to them. Rodski Behavioural Research Group 9

12 THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND LIBRARY Survey October Gap Grid Analysis The Gap Grid is a unique visual tool that incorporates the importance, performance and grid scores of the survey variables. The Gap Grid is effective at an aggregate level and also at a specific demographic level. The horizontal axis defines the performance score of each of the variables. The performance mean for the particular demographic is highlighted by the small blue dot on the axis. The vertical axis defines the importance score of each of the variables. The importance mean is also highlighted by a small blue dot on the axis. The grid is divided into 6 or less zones depending on the range of gap scores. The individual zones identify the following range of gap scores:- Gap.2.95 Gap.1.95 Gap.1.45 Gap.0.95 The gap score is calculated by reference to the difference between the importance and performance score of a particular variable. The gap score is also an indication of how certain we are that a majority or minority of your customers perceives a variable to be indicative of an issue or concern. The pattern placement of the variables on the grid is broadly speaking of three types: Clustered, suggesting that your customers hold similar views about the majority of issues. Disparate, suggesting that your customers hold widely differing views about the majority of issues. A combination of the above two and or no discernible pattern, suggesting that there is minimal correlation amongst the variables and that your customers perceptions are not uniform. The following observations are made in respect of the University of Queensland Library s Overall Grid (see Appendix A): The variables are reasonably clustered, suggesting that the University of Queensland Library s customers hold similar views about most of the issues; The issues of concern for the University of Queensland Library s customers fall into the Best Practice category of Service Quality and the Additional Variable section of the survey. Rodski Behavioural Research Group 10

13 THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND LIBRARY Survey October Hierarchy of Improvement Opportunities Gap scores should be considered in conjunction with their corresponding importance scores. The reason for this is that a low priority, together with a significant Gap score, is indicative of a non-issue. Conversely, high priority and large Gap suggests an area of concern. Gap Grids are a powerful tool for developing a hierarchy of improvement opportunities based on both the Gap size and Importance of an issues. For an issue to be in need of attention it suggested that it has to have both a Gap around 2.0 and be of above average Importance. On this basis, the issues of concern are as follows (ranked in descending order or Importance to customers): Number of computer workstations is adequate; Photocopying facilities are adequate; and Prompt corrective action is taken regarding missing books and journals. It should be emphasised that the response rate for some categories is quite low and thus the Gap grids for those demographics should be interpreted wit caution (these grids are presented in Appendix B to D). This is particularly the case were less than 10 responses were obtained, such as for users of the Ipswitch Library and the Princess Alexandra Hospital Library. The reason being that one or two respondents with relatively extreme views can have a marked effect on the results where only a small number of responses are available.

14 THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND LIBRARY Survey October Best Practice Benchmarking Analysis The objective of the Best Practice Benchmark Analysis is to identify areas of improvement within the University of Queensland Library and to provide you with comparative results so that you may benchmark the University of Queensland Library against other companies in our international/national database. When summarised in this report, the results are considered in light of the Best Practice Categories that form the basis of our customer database. We are able to benchmark the University of Queensland Library against our full customer database (of largely service and product-driven organisations) and against other University libraries who have undertaken similar surveys. Full Customer Database The benchmark results against our full customer database are presented in the Best Practice Category Graph below. Best Practice Categories Graph "How we are performing" University of Queensland SEP '99{1308} HIGH 6.00 Performance Mean LOW 3RD QUARTILE ND QUARTILE ST QUARTILE 3.50 COMMUNICATION SERVICE QUALITY CUSTOMER FOCUS SERVICE DELIVERY PROMOTIONAL IMAGE PEOPLE Best Practice Categories When the results are considered in terms of performance in the Best Practice Categories, it is evident that there are areas of both relative strength and weakness. The University of Queensland Library is performing relatively strongly (in the top quartile) in the areas of Promotional Image and People. In contrast, it is performing relatively poorly (in the bottom quartile) in the area of Communication. The benchmarking performance of each of the variables that make-up these categories is presented in Appendix A. Rodski Behavioural Research Group 12

In fact, the University of Queensland Library has set new highs in our library database in all categories. A similar pattern of results is seen on the individual variables that make-up the categories (see Appendix B), with the exception of photocopying facilities are adequate and number of computer workstations is adequate. (from the Additional Variables section of the survey). Rodski Behavioural Research Group 13

16 THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND LIBRARY Survey October OVERALL QUALITY AND SATISFACTION Respondents were asked to provide an overall rating of the quality of the Library they use most and the general level of satisfaction with that Library. The responses at the aggregate level are provided below (the analyses by the Library Branch used most are presented in Appendix B), where the majority of customers reported high levels of quality and satisfaction. Personal Assessment of the overall quality of the Library. 1.3% 13.4% 0.3% 3.2% 7.4% 29.8% 44.6% 1 - Extremely Poor Excellent General Assessment of how astisfied you are with the Library. 11.2% 0.6% 1.8% 4.3% 10.8% 30.7% 40.6% 1 - Extremely Unsatisfied Extremely Satisfied Rodski Behavioural Research Group 14

17 THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND LIBRARY Survey October RESULTS BY DEMOGRAPHICS Although there were some areas of frustration or dissatisfaction in specific demographics categories collected, there was a large degree of similarity across the different Library Branches, Category of Library User, and Faculty (See Appendices B to D for detailed analyses). In other words, the same issues appear consistently across the demographic groups. Those issues are: number of computer workstations is adequate, photocopying facilities are adequate; and prompt corrective action is taken regarding missing books and journals. Customers of the Dentistry Library were unique in identifying library space is adequate as a significant high priority issue for improvement (Gap). Those customers were also relatively frustrated, communicating a large number of significant issues of concern or areas for improvement. Similarly customers of the Fryer identified a relatively large number of Gaps or issues of concern. Customers from other universities were unique in identified request for document delivery are followed through as a significant issue for improvement. They also identified a high number of Gaps or significant areas of dissatisfaction. Rodski Behavioural Research Group 15

18 THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND LIBRARY Survey October DISCUSSION The University of Queensland Library has conducted a survey of its customers so that their views, ideas, and suggestions can be considered as an integral part of its commitment to improvement. The objectives of the survey included benchmarking the results against other organisations in our customer database so that performance comparisons could be made and strategies for improvement can be shared with other Best Practice Organisations. When compared against our entire customer database, the University of Queensland Library is performing relatively strongly (in the top quartile) in the Best Practice categories of Promotional Image and People. In contrast, it is performing relatively poorly (in the bottom quartile) in the area of Communication. The University of Queensland Library s results are very strong in all of the Best Practice categories relative to the other libraries in our database. In fact, the University of Queensland Library has set new highs in our library database in all Best Practice categories. A similar pattern of results is seen for the individual variables that make-up the categories, with the exception of photocopying facilities are adequate and number of computer workstations is adequate. In fact, these variables fall into the additional section of the survey form. In other words, they were added as specific issues relevant to the University of Queensland Library. The results of the survey indicate that the priorities of the University of Queensland Library s customers include issues about the library collection and catalogue, facilities, opening hours, reshelving, staff and level of service. As mentioned previously, from the Gap grids analysis, a hierarchy of improvement opportunities can be developed based on both the Gap size and Importance score for each issue. On this basis, the issues of concern for customers are: Number of computer workstations is adequate; Photocopying facilities are adequate; and Prompt corrective action is taken regarding missing books and journals. Customers appear to be relatively satisfied with the level and quality of service provided by Library staff. In deed, the questions assessing customers overall assessment of quality and satisfaction yielded positive results, with the majority of customers scoring the Library very strongly. Although there were some areas of frustration or dissatisfaction in the specific demographic categories collected, there was a large degree of similarity across the different Library Branches, Category of Library User, and Faculty. The issues of number of computer workstations is adequate, photocopying facilities are adequate; and prompt corrective action is taken regarding missing books and journals appear consistently across the demographic groups. Rodski Behavioural Research Group 16

19 THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND LIBRARY Survey October 1999 Customers of the Dentistry Library and customers from other Universities were particularly frustrated groups, communicating a large number of significant issues of concern or areas for improvement. It should be emphasised that a total of 1308 people provide usable data in response to the University of Queensland Library s customer survey. This response rate provides a high degree of confidence in the results obtained through the bivariate quantitative analysis at the aggregate level. However, the response for some demographic categories is quite low and thus the results should be interpreted with caution. This is particularly the case were less than 10 responses were obtained, such as users of the Ipswitch Library and the Princess Alexandra Hospital Library. Rodski Behavioural Research Group 17
