Mission BU : a label born of the latest satisfaction survey
Following the 3rd edition of their major satisfaction survey on welcome, collections and buildings, the BUs have analysed the needs and demands expressed. They focus on a few items:
- The spaces
-
Here, the expectations are the most important and the level observed is the highest. If the efforts implemented so far are noted, the libraries still had to improve their premises, furniture and general comfort to match with the new working practices.
This concerns the lack of group rooms, electrical sockets, and an expectation of an improved working environment and interior fittings.
- Documentary resources
-
Questions about documentary resources, research and information tools are noted at the same level as in 2017. While users are generally satisfied with printed resources, the website and search engines are still considered difficult to use.
- Opening hours
-
A quarter of the feedback on opening hours is thankful for the opening of the three BU with extended opening hours. The majority of requests for extended opening hours were for earlier opening times in the morning, at 8am for example.
- Seat reservations
-
The entire system generates comments. It is sometimes difficult to determine if the comments relate to the service (the principle of booking) or the Libcal reservation tool.
In response to these concerns, the BU have undertaken a series of improvements. In order to be more recognisable, these are labelled « Mission BU ».
A quality welcome with Services Publics +
The quality of welcome and services provided is at the centre of the actions of theUniversity of Rennes libraries. It is particularly based on the indispensable indicators of satisfaction and public knowledge surveys.

Surveys and polls performed by the BU
The BU are involved in a quality initiative to follow the standard of welcome in the State's public services.
Called « Services publics + », this programme engages us to take into account your opinions to improve and adapt our services. This is the purpose of our regular surveys.
The enquiries help us to assess your level of satisfaction with the welcome you receive in the libraries, the documentation on site or online, as well as your use of the premises and equipment. We always rely on your feedback and suggestions for improving our services.
Here are some examples of changes made following surveys:
- Extended opening hours (evenings and weekends) with the La Borderie rooms and the BU Villejean Santé.
- Introduction of new services: extending your borrowing period, booking borrowed documents, BU drive service, etc.
- Complete upgrade of the BU Villejean Santé documentation offer.
- Creation of BU workshops and the Focus website, to help you use the documentation and research tools.
- Online booking of group study rooms at the BU Beaulieu and the BU Centre.
