Governance Former Working Groups Quality Working Group Survey of quality practises
| 2004 Survey of Quality Practices |
|
At the beginning of 2004, the M25 Consortium's newly established
Quality Working Group met for its first meeting. It soon became clear
from our discussions that no one had a concise view of the extent
of quality practices and that while we all believed quality to be an
important activity, we were often doing it in quite different
ways. Consequently, a survey of activities seemed the logical thing to do and we set about devising a survey. We were greatly helped by the ability to use the survey format adopted by CPD25 in the previous year and hence the survey was put together fairly quickly. The survey was launched in April 2004 and 26 responses were received. Knowing how often people are asked to complete surveys, our thanks to those library staff who took the time to answer our questions; it is very much appreciated. We feel we have gained considerable insight into the range and extent of quality activities across the Consortium and it has given us some ideas for future activities. The initial results of the 2004 Survey of quality practices in M25 Consortium libraries are detailed below. Please note that the document includes the raw survey data and that a more detailed report will be available in due course. It is the group's intention to undertake another survey in 2006/7. |
