SUNCAT Benefits and Impact Survey Report

The latest SUNCAT Benefits and Impact Survey Report is now available. The report highlights:

- How the service is being used
- How SUNCAT benefits users
- The current level of satisfaction with the service
- How users would like to see SUNCAT develop

Comments from respondents include:

"There are so many search options which you can use, it just makes my job so much easier!"

"If not for Suncat I would spend a lot of my time trying to locate material"

"More than my work taking longer, the quality of my work (catalogue records) would be lower"

"It's easy to use, has a broad scope of materials held, and is very simple to use. I recommend it to students as well as library staff."

For any questions about the report or SUNCAT in general please contact the EDINA helpdesk at edina@ed.ac.uk.
