International day of Happiness – 20th March

The International Day of Happiness was created in 2013 as a way of reminding people of the importance of looking after ourselves and being happy.

Happiness is a great contributor to our overall well-being and can give us an overall feeling of contentment with life. It brings us joy, makes us smile and enables us to enjoy the things that are going on around us.

We can also bring happiness to others by looking out for, caring for and helping them in times of need; but don’t think this is the only time happiness counts, if you can bring happiness to someone during any time in their life, then it will have a benefit, to them and to you.

How we are responding to your feedback – Study Support

“The library services helped me a lot with my studies. I found the help from the Librarians supported me a lot with my assignments”

 

87% of students in the NSS survey reported that library resources have supported their learning wellThat’s what one of the 5971 respondents said about study support in last year’s student surveys. There are three main surveys depending on what type of student you are:

  • NSS (National Student Survey) open to third year undergraduates
  • PTES (Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey)
  • PRES (Postgraduate Research Experience Survey)

The feedback from all of them is a vital way that we shape and improve our services over the coming year and create our commitment to you.
