User survey conducted at the Medical Library of the University of Limburg at Maastricht

The survey arose from a need felt by the senior librarians to monitor the actual use of the library and also the opinions and attitudes of library users after a year in the new premises, with a view to highlighting problems and improving services. Structured interviews were carried out with academic staff, medical staff and groups of students from both medical and health sciences faculties. Recommendations are made for improving library services and reducing noise levels
