I am carrying out a user study which seeks to discover the information seeking behavior of postgraduate students at Coventry University. The purpose of this questionnaire is to gain a better understanding of the participants and their information needs and views regarding the current services available.
All the information you provide is confidential. Your name is not stored with this questionnaire and the information you provide will not be used for any other purpose.
Please choose the relevant answer for each question.
