Aim A key component of library management is meeting the needs of our users. This requires continuous analysis of user experience followed by library development. The aim of this study was to better understand the use and effect of general user surveys (GUS) and other methods of gathering user input for quality assessment and improvement of library activities. Methods Data collection was done via

A survey was performed over all university libraries within the Association of European Research Libraries (LIBER) in order to study how different methods of user input are utilized. Libraries using analysis based on explorative methods - such as UX and process mapping - report significantly increased user knowledge and perceived well-function. Over 3/4 of the respondents reported performing generA survey was performed over all university libraries within the Association of European Research Libraries (LIBER) in order to study how different methods of user input are utilized.

Sara Santesson skriver om Barbro och Märta, huvudkaraktärer i två av Elin Wägners romaner. Hon spårar hur de två karaktärernas konstruktion som progressiva föredömen följer en samhällelig utveckling av kvinnorollen under de två decennier som skiljer romanernas utgivning, alltid i en strävan framåt.

In 2015, LIBER commissioned the “Working group on Research and Education”. The goal was to collect best practices in library support to both education and research, in part by examining user survey data. As a first step the group started a European LibQUAL consortium, which was evaluated in 2016. As a second step, a survey sent to all 301 European LIBER university libraries asking questions pertai

The demands on library services are quickly changing in a continually updating digital age. This increases the importance of a good understanding of the needs and demands of the users. In order to sample and follow the change in user needs library organisations analyse their efforts using a series of different methods. In a recent survey distributed to all 301 European LIBER university libraries,

Byggnadssektorn stod för 39 % av energi- och processrelaterade koldioxidutsläpp år 2018 och globala utsläpp från byggnader ökade med 2 % för det andra året i rad. Därför är det viktigt att ta fram lösningar på byggnadsdesign som minimerar klimatpåverkan från byggnader. Samtidigt som produktionen av bostäder och kommersiella byggnader måste vara kostnadseffektiv för att skapa boende och arbetsplatsThe building and construction sector accounted for 39% of energy and process-related carbon dioxide emissions in 2018 and global emissions from buildings increased by 2% for the second consecutive year. It is therefore important to find building design solutions that minimise the climate impact of buildings. At the same time, the production of residential houses and commercial buildings must be co

The existing information supports the use of this material as described in this safety assessment. The material (phenylacetaldehyde) was evaluated for genotoxicity, repeated dose toxicity, developmental and reproductive toxicity, local respiratory toxicity, phototoxicity, skin sensitization, and environmental safety. Data show that phenylacetaldehyde is not genotoxic and provide a calculated margi

Furfuryl thioacetate was evaluated for genotoxicity, repeated dose toxicity, reproductive toxicity, local respiratory toxicity, phototoxicity/photoallergenicity, skin sensitization, and environmental safety. Data show that furfuryl thioacetate is not genotoxic. The repeated dose, reproductive, and local respiratory toxicity endpoints were evaluated using the threshold of toxicological concern (TTC
