Collecting stats with institutional queues
Submitted by admin-boss on
Hello all,
Recently I received the following question:
"Will you be breaking out statistics for institutional queue only use?"
Unfortunately, QuestionPoint's stats don't work that way. Institutional queues are quite well-integrated with the overall service. You can pull out stats for your institution alone, but it doesn't track how many come in when someone is logged into an institutional queue alone vs. their institutional queue plus the general queue, vs. other libraries logged into your queue as part of the general service.

How formal should you be? Here's the research
Submitted by admin-boss on
Our exit surveys exhibit a wide range of preferences for formality levels. Many of our users write to tell us that they appreciate the approachable, informal tone that many AskAwayers take on during a chat. Some users want AAers to express more formality, while others complain that we're not casual enough.

UVic's new website
Submitted by admin-boss on
UVic has a new website – http://www.uvic.ca/library
The site is pretty self-explanatory but please be aware that there may be some links that haven’t quite been fixed yet. The UVic policy page has been updated so all those links should work fine. If not, please contact Tracie Smith (tracies@uvic.ca). One tip – searching the library website works really well if you’re stuck. We’re using it too as we get used to where everything went.
