Student user experience study of library subject guides

Students: participate in a user experience study of our Library subject guides.

Subject guides include recommended resources collected by our dedicated liaison librarians and we want to redesign these guides in partnership with you. By participating in this study, you will be able to influence the design of future guides that will help students study/research easier and quicker and, ultimately, get better marks with less effort.

Step 1: If you are willing to participate please fill out this short online survey on your university study information seeking habits. It should take no more than 15 minutes to complete.

Step 2: On completion of the online survey you may be invited to take part in an individual consultation, no longer than 80 minutes, to be arranged at a time convenient to you. A plain language statement and consent form will outline activities occurring during the individual consultation. Participants will receive a $25 Coles/Myer voucher for this consultation.

Thanks for your time, we appreciate your feedback.

Take the survey
