RLUK (Research Libraries UK) Service Standards Pilot
We follow Key Performance Indicators for achieving high levels of customer satisfaction, responding in good time to enquiries, feedback and complaints, and maintaining advertised opening hours. Each KPI has a service target. Although RLUK will not be publishing the national results for the '17-'18 session, the University of Edinburgh Help Services will continue to use these standards as a measure of performance.
